RE: [p2-dev] how to install the product and custom actions at the same time

Andrew,

 

Thanks for the info. I got his working now. I also found that this topic was discussed in http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.technology.equinox/msg06116.html.

Alain,
I'm not sure of all the details, but I believe you need to have a "meta requirement" from the IU that want to use the action (my.feature.feature.group) to the IU that provides it (my.p2.actions).
Metarequirements must be present before the IU can be installed, I think p2 will install the meta requirements first, so your action is then present, then it installs everything else.

The p2.inf to add the meta requirements is
 metaRequirements.<#>.namespace = <namespace>
metaRequirements.<#>.name = <name>
metaRequirements.<#>.range = <range> (optional / default: 0.0.0)
metaRequirements.<#>.greedy = <true|false> (optional / default: true)
metaRequirements.<#>.optional = <true|false> (optional / default: false)
metaRequirements.<#>.multiple = <true|false>  (optional / default: false)

See http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Customizing_Metadata.

[p2-dev] how to install the product and custom actions at the same        time

Hello,
 
I have a question about custom touchpoint action.
 
I am trying to implement a set of custom touchpoint actions (my.p2.actions.plugin) to install our plugin (my.feature.plugin). my.p2.actions.plugin is not yet installed in Eclipse.
 
Could I package my.p2.actions.plugin and my.feature.plugin into one feature and tell P2 to import actions from my.p2.actions.plugin?
 
I included these 2 plugin in the feature.xml but the following error was seen:
 
An error occurred while configuring the installed items
 session context was:(profile="" phase=org.eclipse.equinox.interna
l.p2.engine.phases.Configure, operand=null --> [R]my.feature.feature.group 1.0.0
.201003181555, action="">
 No action found for: my.p2.actions.myAction.
Caused by: Application failed, log file location: C:\Documents and Settings\a038
9314\workspace\.metadata\.log
 
The p2.inf for and my.feature.plugin is as follows:
 
instructions.configure=\
myAction(path:"ssdfd");
 
instructions.configure.import=\
my.p2.actions.myAction
 
I am including the content.xml for your reference:
