[news.eclipse.technology.equinox] Re: [p2] Director install: artifact fi

[rscott@xxxxxxx (Rich Scott)]

Pascal,

Yes, I am trying to install from a local repository (File: URL).  

I don't know if this is related or not. Since writing this post, I ran 
across an unexpected behavior in PDE Project Export. I posted this one in 
eclipse.platform.rcp. It appears that there is some sort of caching going 
on relative to the target directory of the export which impacts what gets 
exported the next time. The first indication of some caching is that if I 
delete both the export directory and the metadata repository (to rebuild 
them from scratch), the repository can end up with multiple versions of my 
plugins.  If I change the directory name for the export, I only get the 
current version. The other thing that I saw was that I was not getting a 
copy of org.eclipse.equinox.launcher... in the repository. I changed the 
feature configuration many ways and still could not get the plugin 
exported, even though it would appear in the product export directory. 
Finally I changed the name of the product export directory and then I 
started getting the proper artifacts created.

I'm not sure if this was the problem relating to com.ibm.icu, but I have 
since been able to create a good repository built, by changing the export 
directory name periodically. So finally, I'm able to generate the 
repository, use p2installer to install, run my applicaiton, and then 
update it.
