Re: [p2-dev] API for "Available Software Sites" pref store

Blech!  I only use P2 in the context of an RCP application with a fully custom UI, I hope my application is not caching every URI it's ever been passed...

Looking at the IRepositoryManager interface, looks like you could `getKnownRepositories(REPOSITORIES_ALL)`, and then call `removeRepository()` for each one.

Either there should be a way to tell p2 API not to cache these URIs or those URIs have to be removed from "Available Software Sites". We couldn't find a way to do the former and hence the main focus of this email is the latter.

I don't know anything about changing prefs for "Available Software Sites".

But, it is definitely possible to fetch remote repositories using just the raw P2 API.

This blog post does a pretty good job describing how.

I would like to know whether there are APIs to get all entries and remove entries from "Available Software Sites" pref store.

I can of course load up the p2 repository and look into the code (as mentioned in [1] ). Thought I will check here first.

BTW, this is required because when WTP accesses adapters from the internet, those sites get added to this list which shouldn't be (see [2]). So, if there is a p2 API to fetch remote repositories without adding the URI to the "Available Software Sites" list, that should help too. In the absence of that we will need to deal with the pref store directly (via APIs). This query was posted on the forum [3] but no responses so far.
