Re: [p2-dev] error while loading a remote repository using IMetadataRepo

[Dileepa Jayakody <dileepa@xxxxxxxx>]

 Hi Katya,

Thanks a lot for the hints :)
We too are using org.eclipse.ecf for p2 file transferring purposes (we are not modifying anything under the hood, and simply rely on the default p2 transport). If we look at the bundle states at our product start-up all 
the ecf related bundles are in Active state as below.

46    ACTIVE      org.eclipse.core.runtime_3.7.0.v20110110

47    ACTIVE      org.eclipse.ecf_3.1.300.v20110531-2218
48    ACTIVE      org.eclipse.ecf.filetransfer_5.0.0.v20110531-2218
49    ACTIVE      org.eclipse.ecf.identity_3.1.100.v20110531-2218
50    ACTIVE      org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer_3.2.0.v20110531-2218

So, I think the ecf transports are available to our p2 runtime at this point.
We are retrieving all the p2 related services via a p2 Agent. This p2 agent is created  via the IProvisioningAgentProvider service offered by p2. We load the IMetadataRepositoryManager service from the p2 agent as below.
provisioningAgent.getService(IMetadataRepositoryManager.SERVICE_NAME);
This service is used to retrieve the repo metadata, and it only fails with remote repos.

So, does this mean the above loaded IMetadataRepositoryManager service cannot find the ecf transport when it tries to load a remote p2 repo? Is there any tweaks I can do to explicitly enable ecf transport to above service?

Thanks,
Dileepa

Hi Dileepa,

A quick look at the source shows two possible reasons for the exception below - either there's no transport available at your runtime or the agent which is doing the provisioning operation doesn't know about it.
What kind of transport do you expect to be used for file transfer? (for example Eclipse uses ecf) You may also check whether the corresponding transport bundles (if available) are started.

Hope this helps,
Katya

Subject: [p2-dev] error while loading a remote repository using IMetadataRepositoryManager

Hi Devs,

We are using equinox p2 version:3.7 as the provisioning platform for our osgi based product.
I have an issue with org.eclipse.equinox.p2.repository.metadata.IMetadataRepositoryManager when I try to load a p2 repository from a remote URI.
The code works fine with local repos but throws a null-pointer @metadataRepositoryManager.loadRepository(location, new NullProgressMonitor()); when trying to load a remote repository.
It seems p2 cannot load an indexFile from the given remote repo URI.
I tested this with a sample p2 repo both as a local repo and a hosted remote repo. It works fine with the local repo but fails when it's given as a hosted remote repo :(

Can you guys give me a hint what could be going wrong here?
Any help on this matter is much appreciated.

HI All,

I have a question regarding shared installs. We have shared location for eclipse on the network.  We then have in the eclipse.ini -data and -configuration specified.

We have the following scenario:

1.User starts eclipse and it will create the -data and -configuration folders automatically
2. the user installs some plugins
3. User exits eclipse
4. we update the shared location to have new plugins, therefore the p2 profiles have changed on the shared side of the installation
5. The user starts eclipse.  From the Installed software and installation history tab, the user has his/her info and shows the user specific plugins, but they are not loaded.  We see that the user's features/plugins are not seen in the relevant tabs
6. If we then install anything else from the user's eclipse it then brings back all of the previous plugins and the new one and everything is working fine.

So, my question is, instead of having my users install anything to be able to bring back their previous plugins, is there anyway via a runtime option to trigger p2 so that it does it automatically?

Thanks in advance,
Dom
