[p2-dev] multiple bundle pools

["Kapukaranov, Borislav" <borislav.kapukaranov@xxxxxxx>]

Hey folks,

 

I recently found bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=202447 covering support for multiple bundle pools.

While that’s quite exciting I couldn’t find a way or guide how to use it during provisioning.

The director’s “-bundlepool” argument is respected only at profile creation as the documentation suggests.

 

Also I was curious how this behaves with roaming profiles. On one hand the bug hints this could be used in Eclipse(a roaming installation), but on the other the “-roaming” documentation says that this argument only makes sense when the pool and the destination locations match.

 

I see I can specify the “org.eclipse.equinox.p2.cache.extensions“ during initial provisioning of a product, using the profileProperties.

So far so good, but on subsequent provisioning operations on this profile how do I specify in which pool I want my plugins to go?

 

Thanks,

Bobby
