The xtext site needs to be added as a reference.

The other way to do this is by using a composite that aggregates your own repo and the xtext one.

Subject: [p2-dev] Questions on feature requiring another feature based on another update site

 

Hello,

 

I have the following case. I am building my own feature that needs another external feature (Xext).

I want to build an update site containing my own bits but I want to make sure that when a user install my feature from my update site, the Xtext can also be installed from the Xtext update site.

So what I did it that I added the Xtext update site in my feature.xml as a Sites to visit.

But when I install my feature on a stock Eclipse installation, then the installation fails because the required featured cannot be found.

 

Am I doing something wrong ?

 

Thanks

Jeff
