Description Ian Bull

2010-08-25 11:31:55 EDT

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #315757 +++

Build Identifier: Target against Helios update site

When the org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.AbstractPublisherApplication processes the command line parameter -contextMetadata it uses the member "agent". However this member is still null at that point in time. Consequently the context metadata repository of the PublisherInfo is set to null (meaning no context repository).
Effectively the parameter -contextMetadata is ignored.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
The parameter "-contextMetadata" is interpreted here:
at org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.AbstractPublisherApplication.processMetadataRepositoryList(AbstractPublisherApplication.java:213)
at org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.AbstractPublisherApplication.processParameter(AbstractPublisherApplication.java:183)
at org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.AbstractPublisherApplication.processCommandLineArguments(AbstractPublisherApplication.java:149)
at org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.AbstractPublisherApplication.run(AbstractPublisherApplication.java:270)
at org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.AbstractPublisherApplication.start(AbstractPublisherApplication.java:323)

... but the member "agent" is only initialized afterwards:
at org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.AbstractPublisherApplication.setupAgent(AbstractPublisherApplication.java:252)
at org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.AbstractPublisherApplication.run(AbstractPublisherApplication.java:292)
at org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.AbstractPublisherApplication.run(AbstractPublisherApplication.java:271)
at org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.AbstractPublisherApplication.start(AbstractPublisherApplication.java:323)

I've fixed this in head.  The commit comment actually says bug 315757. Sorry about that.

There was a problem with tagging HEAD so this fix won't appear in integration builds until the first build after 3.7 M2.
