[tycho-user] tycho mirror goal and category.xml

[jdevgl@xxxxxxxxx]

Hi :)

I would like to mirror several public p2 repositories, host them with 
tomcat and finally use them in a target to build my RCP application.

I read the documentation about the mirror goal of tycho extras plugin. 
The pom is correct and the copy seems to work correctly but there is no 
category.xml file downloaded from the original p2 repository. As a 
consequence, I can't add these repositories to my target file in 
Eclipse. The "Add Software site" wizard tells me that there are no 
categorized items and if I uncheck the "group by category" checkbox, it 
tells me that there are no items available.

I've used the Reficio p2 maven plugin to create my own p2 repository 
with a few bundles. This plugin generates a category.xml file with the 
following content:

<site>
    <category-def name="all" label="Maven osgi-bundles"/>
    <iu>
        <category name="all"/>
        <query>
            <expression type="match">providedCapabilities.exists(p | 
p.namespace == 'osgi.bundle')</expression>
        </query>
    </iu>
</site>

I tried to use this category.xml for the mirrored repositories but it 
doesn't seems to work...

So how can I retrieve the category.xml for these repositories or is 
there a way to create a default one?

Best regards :)
