[news.eclipse.technology.equinox] P2 - "No action found for: addRepository" when installing from repository
Hello everybody,
I'm trying to implement automatic updates for an application using the P2 framework. I have, in my build.properties, specified a path where the P2 artifacts and metadata should be placed.

I have added the following lines to my build.properties

generate.p2.metadata = true
p2.metadata.repo=file:${buildDirectory}/${buildLabel}/${buildId}/repo
p2.artifact.repo=file:${buildDirectory}/${buildLabel}/${buildId}/repo
p2.flavor=tooling
p2.publish.artifacts=true

The build process succeeds in creating a repository but when I try to install my application using this repository I get an error. The command line I use is

C:\>myapp\myapp.exe -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director.app.application -metadataRepository file:c:/builtRepo -artifactRepository file:c:/builtRepo -install
IU com.cinnober.cscreen.feature.group -destination c:\installedX86 -profile MyAppProfile -profileProperties org.eclipse.update.install.features=true -bundlePool c:\installedX86 -

The log file in myapp\configuration contains the following

I'm using eclipse 3.4-1 on Windows x64.

The directory which I've specified to be the destination, c:\installedX86, is created however and has a "features", "p2", and "plugins" directory which seems to contain all my plugins.

I'm quite new to Eclipse/RCP applications so I may have done something totally crazy. 

Does anyone have a clue why this error occurs, if indeed it is an error?

One thing I am really interested in knowing is given that you have created a P2 repository, what is the preferred way of installing a P2-enabled application for the first time? Do you need an existing eclipse installation (or some application that contains the P2 director)?
