Installing local Bndtools build into Eclipse

[Fr Jeremy Krieg (Home)]

Hi all, p

I pray that you are well.

Quick question: having built Bndtools locally, how do I install that version into my Eclipse installation?

It seems that the P2 repo is nearly all there in org.bndtools.p2/generated - The features and plugins directories are there and populated, but it's missing the two index files in the root directory. When I set up a local update site in Eclipse to point at this dir it doesn't find any content.

I have removed org.bndtools.p2/generated and rebuilt using various Gradle commands, all for the same result.

Thoughts?

Blessings,

Fr Jeremy Krieg

org.bndtools.p2/generated/p2 holds a complete p2 repo (as built by the gradle build). Add a file: URL for that folder to your eclipse update sites and then you can update from it.

Thanks BJ. Under my org.bndtools.p2/generated directory, I have a features directory and a plugins directory, but no p2 directory. What build step am I missing? I've tried the following tasks with gradlew:

<default>

p2

:org.bndtools.p2:p2

:dist:releaseNeeded

What am I missing?

Blessings,

Fr Jeremy

Are you building with JDK 8? The p2 generator code fails under later JDKs.

No, I was using jdk 9. Under JDK 8, some other part of the build seems to fail on my machine. I'll try again, thanks for the pointer!

For the record, I hadn't set JAVA_HOME and it was using an old (the original?) jdk1.8.0. When I updated it to jdk1.8.0_171, it all worked fine.

Thanks for your help!

Blessings,
