[news.eclipse.technology.equinox] [p2] How to avoid hitting remote repos

[Peter Stibrany <peter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

I am writing standalone custom plugin installer using P2 Director
application as an example. I call it "integrator", since it integrates
my eclipse feature into target eclipse-application.

I want to distribute this integrator with local update sites, and want
to install new plugins only from these local sites. I don't want to hit
remote (http) repositories at all.

Problem is that sometimes I see that P2 code is downloading metadata
from remote sites too. Is it possible to disable this? It seems that one
solution could be to removing
"org.eclipse.ecf.provider.filetransfer.httpclient" plugins from my
integrator. Would it break something else?

Thank you for your answers.
