Re: [p2-dev] Creating P2's default profile

[Sebastian Schmidt <sebastian.schmidt@xxxxxx>]

Hello Anthony, Devs,

thank you very much for the explanation. It helped a lot to understand
what's going on.

I used the target platform editor and on the first launch of my target
a profileRegistry with a weirdly named profile
"TARGET_DEFINITION%58;local%58;1309224216952.target.profile" was
created in my workspace. On the next step, I pointed
eclipse.p2.data.area to the directory of this profile and it was
recognized in the osgi console (appeared in "provlp").

I then tried to install an IU with provinstall "name" "version", which
didn't work because the command complains about a missing profile. I
tried again with provinstall "name" "version" "profileId", which
worked. After calling confapply my IU / plugins are now installed (?)
in the profile (they appear when calling "provlp profileId"). Anyway,
I'm not able to see the new plugins in ss or bundles and couldn't find
a way to start/stop them. Did I do something wrong, or how are bundles
in p2 profiles managed?

Thanks again,

Sebastian
