[news.eclipse.technology.equinox] Re: I have managed to deploy p2-ed pro

Mustafa,

In 3.4 there is not a mechanism to automatically set the update site. (bug 
254658 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=254658). It looks 
like this is being corrected in 3.5.  But it is fairly simple to work 
around this. What you need to do is include copies of 

configuration/.settings/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.repository.prefs 
and

configuration/.settings/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository.prefs

in the install directory that are setup to list your repository. I do this 
programatically within the installer, I believe others include those files 
as root files in the build.

p2 runs from a repository, basically an update site that include p2 
generates contents.xml and artifacts.xml files. Using the repository is 
correct.
