[p2-dev] publishing binary content to p2

[Josh Hester <Josh.Hester@xxxxxxx>]

What is the best way to publish binary content to p2?

 

Currently we have a process that uses templates of files (feature.xml, manifest.mf, etc..).   We then fill them out with information about the binaries we’d like published, what we’d like the plugin and feature id’s to be, the list of files, etc.  Then we run the FeaturesAndBundlesPublisher to publish them to a repository.

Is there a better way of doing this?  Is there an API or support for creating these files for us if we’re only interested in publishing a binary rather than compiling source and publishing it?

Thanks,
