| Re: [platform-dev] Eclipse 3.8.1 Release Build: 3.8.1 Platform SDK |
|
Hi John, One problem that I’ve run into today is:
When I cannot access any p2 repositories directly because I’m on a closed network without access to the outside, I have no way now to get the Platform Sources
in the form of a zipped p2 repo (which I can put on an USB key or similar). The Eclipse SDK is not a good replacement for a p2 repo IMHO (or can I use the SDK as a source for p2 director?) What I would suggest is discontinuing the multiple individual p2 repos, and providing a single zipped p2 repo of the entire Eclipse Project Deliveries instead. Or maybe replace the “rcp.source” p2 repo by a “platform.source” p2 repo which includes rcp.source. Do you think that would make sense ? The only workaround I can think of right now is using the p2 mirroring application to mirror a p2 repo … but given that release repos are composites from what
I understand, it would perhaps be difficult to get an EXACT version of the Platform (such as 3.8.1) when I need it. Thoughts ? Thanks, Martin -- Martin Oberhuber, SMTS / Product Architect – Development Tools,

On Behalf Of John Arthorne The Platform SDK download has been discontinued. This download was equivalent to the Platform Runtime Binary download, with the addition of source
features. You can either install the source into the Platform Runtime binary, or download the Eclipse SDK which includes all the source.
