[p2-dev] p2.director gap when installing via jar:file url
|
I'll push my luck and ask about another issue I've run into.
Our project's build produces some deliverable zips that don't have p2
metadata information in them. If I unzip such a deliverable and point
p2.director to it, it has no problem working with it; it can list and
install the IUs. My understanding is that this works because p2
generates the metadata on the fly.
If I instead point p2 to the zip file via a jar:file URL, it claims
it can't find the repositories. Is this unequal treatment intentional
or a bug? Seems to me it could just as well generate the p2 data from
the zip contents.
Naturally, the right thing to do is to get our builds producing p2
repos, and I'll pursue that. Still, it seems odd (and dare I say,
unfair) that p2.directory cannot accommodate a zip to the same extent
that it does a directory tree. I'll open a bug if this is
unintentional. Just need to know.
