Eclipse-Equinox-OSGi-p2-Tutorial

About

This project includes Eclipse Equinox OSGi specific samples which cover the following scenarios:

• Publisher scenario: Create a simple p2 repository which contains only one bundle. This is the Equniox launcher bundle. This invokes the Publisher (org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.FeaturesAndBundlesPublisher) application. The Publisher application creates p2 metadata for the repository containing the single bundle. Check the created test_repo folder.

• Director scenario: Create a p2 profile which contains metadata for the bundle from the previously created repository. This involves the Director (org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director) application. Check the created test_profile foldr. TODO more explanations.

• Console scenario: Start an Equinox OSGi console.

These scenarios run only on Windows as .cmd scripts are provided. TODO - add explanations about the agent and the connection between the downloaded equinox repository, the agent and the applications.

Getting started

Start with the README.txt inside the equinox_repo folder. Then run the command-line scripts.
