Re: [tycho-user] [tycho-user] how to use a local p2 repository?

["Stefan Weber"<stefan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Oliver,

i'm working on our eclipse projects with 5 collegues. So we had the same issue (no bandwidth for always downloading). 
For this reason i downloaded every eclipse package/install i needed (e.g. RCP, JEE, WTP, Delta Pack etc.) and put it into one eclipse folder. After that i created a site.xml containing all features from the merged packages (I have a tool for this [1]). From this merged site.xml i ran the eclipse p2 publisher:

java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar
-nosplash -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.UpdateSitePublisher
-metadataRepository file:/<location_where_the_repository_will_be_created>
-artifactRepository file:/<location_where_the_repository_will_be_created>
-source <the_eclipse_installation_directory_for_which_the_p2_repository_will_be_created>
-compress -publishArtifacts -addJREIU

After this you have a fully functional eclipse p2 mirror for all the packages you downloaded. You can add it to your repository location with e.g. 'file://c:/repo'

P.S. i'm currently working on a blog post describing this procedure in detail. I will let you know about this when i'm finished.
