Re: [p2-dev] installing features via p2 api

Forgot to mention, you may be interested in taking a look at the equinox.p2.operations API (http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/reference/api/org/eclipse/equinox/p2/operations/package-summary.html
It encapsulates behind a few lines of code the same thing than you have in your code.

This code looks correct. I can think of several problems:
A) Be sure that there is an IU fragment associated with all the IUs representing the bundles. This IU fragment also referred to as "configuration unit" is supposed to say that the bundles needs to be installed and at which start level. You can see if an IUFragment is attached on an IU by introspecting the plan. For example in the eclipse SDK we ship a CU called tooling.osgi.bundle.default that configures all bundles to be installed and started at start level 4, and then individual CUs that configure bundles with specific values (e.g. toolingcocoa.macosx.x86_64org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator).

B) Misconfiguration
1) the agent running the provisioning operation does not contain org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator.manipulator and therefore the bundles.info file does not get written.
2) the system being provisioned does not contain org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator, therefore the creation of the bundles.info is not done.

In both cases, the values would end up being written in the config.ini, but since there is no Configurator service registered for the config.ini (the only Configurator service being registered is done for SimpleConfigurator) then the call is a noop.

C) If this does not help then you will have to resort to see what happens when the EquinoxManipulator persists the changes (EquinoxManipulatorImpl.save(boolean))

Hi,

We are looking at using P2 as part of a continuous deployment infrastructure to support a high volume distributed service and wanted to see if we could get a little assistance in bringing up a prototype using p2 as a provisioning agent in headless containers.  Specifically, we've looked at the p2 source code and at the toast example, and are having an issue where we install a feature via (roughly)

       IProfileChangeRequest request = planner.createChangeRequest(profile);
       ProvisioningContext context = new ProvisioningContext(agent);
       IProvisioningPlan plan = planner.getProvisioningPlan(request, context,
                monitor);
       engine.perform(plan, monitor);
       this.configurator.applyConfiguration();

The condition we observe is that the operation above succeeds, and we can query the IU out of the profile, but cannot see it (via ss) on the equinox console (we are just deploying to a debug container from eclipse) and we cannot see the bundle in any other way from the console.  Does anyone know what we are missing to "commit" the install?

My apologies if this if off topic or on the incorrect list.

Thanks,

Kevin
