Re: [egit-dev] Auto-discovery of EGit features when installing other features
|
You want the associate sites feature.
1. Create a file called associate-sites.xml with content as follows:
<associateSites>
<associateSite url='...'/>
<associateSite url='...'/>
</associateSites>
2. In your site.xml file that's used when generating the repo, add the
following attribute to the root "site" element.
associateSitesURL="associate-sites.xml"
This will generate the repo metadata such that when you the user adds your
repo, the associate repos are immediately registered, yet it will not
contribute features to your repo listing like a composite repo.

Apparently, discovery URLs don't work the way I thought they would; instead,
the discovery URL is only extracted once the feature has been successfully
installed. A classic chicken-and-egg problem. :-(
So it looks like we have to go down the composite update-site route, but
AFAIK that means exposing our users to all the features defined by EGit in
the "Install New Software" dialog. Does anyone know a way around this? I am
just interested in the EGit/JGit bundles being available to p2, I don't want
to clutter the UI with seemingly unrelated features.
Best wishes,
Andreas
