Kaushik,
I doubt very much that you can set anything for these plugins via
IU properties. Most likely these plugins look at environment
variables or at preferences, which might be configuration scoped
but are more likely to be workspace scoped; in either case,
preferences are not something you can control with p2 director.
Perhaps you could use Oomph to define/configure your own
specialized products:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Oomph_Authoring
You'll first need to find out how these specific plugins
determine the toolchain information and where it's actually
stored. I know for CDT, for example, that it looks for gcc on the
PATH environment variable, so that's something that needs to be
configured by the user in their system-wide environment variables
before launching any particular installation.
Regards,
Ed

Hello P2
developers,
I am using
p2 director to add some plugins to the basic Eclipse
release. However, I don’t know how to configure these
plugins. Specifically, I am using the Yocto plugin and MCU
Eclipse plugin, both of which allow the user to specify a
toolchain path so that the plugin can perform
cross-compilation within the Eclipse IDE. I’d like to set
the toolchain paths for these plugins using p2 director. I
see that there is a flag called -iuProfileProperties that
lets the user specify a IU properties file with a list of
properties to set, but I haven’t had any luck using it. So,
I guess my question is two-fold:
- How do I determine the name of
the property within these plugins that specifies the
toolchain path? Or, more generally, how do I list the
properties associated with a plugin?
- How do I set this property? I
would imagine that this would use the -iuProfileproperties
flag, but how exactly should the input properties file be
set up? A sample file that shows how this is done would
be greatly appreciated.
I haven’t
found much documentation online about the above, so any help
you could offer is most appreciated. Thank you very much
for your time.
-Kaushik
