[news.eclipse.technology.equinox] Re: p2 detecting newly installed bundl

["Francis Upton (News)" <francisu@xxxxxxxx>]

It seems the problem I'm having is that the plugin is not actually 
getting installed.  I can see that from the p2 perspective it's 
installed.  The feature I'm installing appears in the UI as installed 
and appears in the P2 profile as installed, along with it's plugin. 
However, in the plugins/features directory of my product, the feature 
and plugin are not present.  Nor is the plugin in the bundles.info.

Any idea where to start debugging this?

Below is the excerpt from the profile that refers to the plugin:

    <unit 
id='com.oaklandsw.transform.feature.data.edifact.07b.feature.jar' 
version='2.7.1'>
      <update

      <properties size='3'>
        <property name='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.name' value='EDIFACT 07B'/>
        <property name='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.description'

        <property name='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.description.url'

          <instruction key='zipped'>

    </unit>


And here is the part that has (I'm guessing) where the plugins should be 
located:

  <properties size='6'>
    <property name='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.cache' 
value='/d/build/transform/build/kits/transform12-kits/linux.gtk.x86'/>
    <property name='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.flavor' value='tooling'/>
    <property name='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.roaming' value='true'/>
    <property name='org.eclipse.update.install.features' value='true'/>
    <property name='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.environments' 
value='osgi.ws=gtk,osgi.os=linux,osgi.arch=x86'/>
    <property name='org.eclipse.equinox.p2.installFolder' 
value='/d/build/transform/build/kits/transform12-kits/linux.gtk.x86'/>
  </properties>



I have installed my application as part of my build with the p2 director 
like this:

<exec executable="${baseLocation}/eclipse" failonerror="true" 
timeout="900000">
<arg line="-application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director.app.application" />
<arg line="-nosplash" />
<arg line="--launcher.suppressErrors" />
<arg line="-consoleLog" />
<arg line="-flavor ${p2.flavor}" />
<arg line="-installIU

<arg line="-version ${oaklandswVersion}" />
<arg line="-p2.os ${confOs}" />
<arg line="-p2.ws ${confGui}" />
<arg line="-p2.arch ${confArch}" />
<arg line="-roaming" />
<arg line="-profile OSDTProfile" />
<arg line="-profileProperties org.eclipse.update.install.features=true" />
<arg line="-metadataRepository ${p2.metadata.repo}" />
<arg line="-artifactRepository ${p2.artifact.repo}" />
<arg line="-destination

<arg line="-vmargs" />
<arg

/>
</exec>
