Re: [p2-dev] How to delete org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/cache programmati

This cache is an ArtifactRepository so you should be able to flush it using the removeAll() method.

You can load this repository from the IArtifactRepositoryManager. The URI for this repo can be computed as follow:

 

              IAgentLocation location = getAgentLocation(agent);

              if (location == null)

                     return null;

              return URIUtil.append(location.getDataArea("org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core"), "cache/"); //$NON-NLS-1$ //$NON-NLS-2$

 

You are saying that you have a lot of item in the .blobstore, can you confirm that these are all binaries?

Subject: [p2-dev] How to delete org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/cache programmatically?

 

I am working on a feature in our RCP product to install software from customized P2 repositories. Each build of that software produces one dedicated repository (labelled with the build id to make it unique).

 

Everything works fine. P2 can install multiple release builds of the software. However, I find out the "eclipse/p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/cache" directory grows very big after I install several builds? Especially the ".blobstore" directory contains all the downloaded artifacts.

 

Is there a way to programmatically delete this cache?

 

Thanks,

Andy
