[tycho-user] How to use publish-features-and-bundles to turn old-style u

[Michael Vorburger <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, we have some old dependencies in a few oldstuff.zip, which each contain normal plugins/*.jar and features/** folders - but no content | artifact.xml/jar.

Are those "old-style update site" as per https://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Additional_Tools#publish-features-and-bundles_goal ?

We'd, ideally, like to turn those into p2 sites to be able to easily consume them from a Tycho build, and have tried using what's described on the Wiki, but step 1 fails saying "Error during mirroring: Mirroring failed: No repository found at", and the FeaturesAndBundlesPublisher from step 2 (we tried to skip step 1) just does nothing ("Generating metadata for .. Generation completed with success [0 seconds].")

Is this possible, and how, or are those old (in-house) ZIPs not "old-style update site" ?
