RE: [p2-dev] How to get agent and profile object using p2 API

["Todorova, Katya" <katya.todorova@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Jain, 

Since you are talking about standalone java application, I suppose it doesn't run in OSGi environment. 
I don't think it's possible to use p2 functionality as pure java code (without OSGi framework running) or at least I haven't heard of anyone who has tried it.
Do you plan to start OSGi framework in your application? 

Could you please provide more details about your runtime environment? 

Kind regards, 
Katya

Hi Katya,

Thanks !!
I have one doubt in this.

It seems like it is developed as a plugin. So, how do you execute this updater.
Is it used as a plugin to some other application.

Actually, I want to develop an installer based on p2 as an independent
standalone command line application.

So, in that case how do I get the bundle context and then Service Reference
Because in case of plugin, we have an Activator class which has
start(BundleContext context) method through which we can get the
BundleContext object.

But in case of standalone Java Application, how should I get it ?

Thanks & Regards,
         - Nayna Jain
