Hello All,

I'd like to add to my product non-OSGi artifact that contains folders/configuration files/JARs that should be added to launcher classpath.
      Without even p2 involved, I'm not sure that what you are trying to do is in fact possible. To add something to the launcher you need to pass several arguments to -startup in the eclipse.ini which I don't if it is possible. If you tell me in which eclipse file you need to modify (e.g. eclipse.ini, config.ini) then I should be able to help more.


How should I describe this artifact (as plugin, as zip file)? Which touchpoints should I use to unzip it and change class path options?
    If they are just a bunch of files, I think you should use a "binary" artifact, and the touchpoint action to drive where the unzipping should be done. Here is an example of XML for a similar case in the eclipse sdk. 
ATM, the main difficulty with this is that there is no tooling provided out of the box with p2 to create such an IU (e.g. no editor like we have for features) and you will have to generate the XML as part of your build.


Are there any samples/docs that can help me with my requirements?

Thank you in advance.

Best regards,
Dmytro Pishchukhin
