Description
Matthew Piggott
Please provide complete user story so we understand who and under what circumstances might want to change discovery URL. I agree. I have an issue ongoing at the moment where I can't access the discovery catalog because of a proxy issue. I wanted to configure the url to a local hosted version, or just to another xml file so I could redirect to a custom jar. I think it shouldn't be easily configurable, if that's your concern, but at least make it a property. Igor,
in order to test changes to the discovery catalog, I found it convenient to change the hardcoded PATH value in MavenDiscovery.java to
public static final String PATH;
static {
String defaultPath = "http://download.eclipse.org/technology/m2e/discovery/directory-1.1.xml"; //$NON-NLS-1$
PATH = System.getProperty("m2e.discovery.url", defaultPath); //$NON-NLS-1$
}
That allows me to easily test upcoming changes in the catalog with a JVM property like -Dm2e.discovery.url=file:/D:/directory.xml
Are you ok for me to push that change?
Yes, this looks okay, just use "public static final String DEFAULT_URL =..." for the default url ;-) Fixed using an environment variable. Alternate discovery URLs can be used by launching eclipse with : -Dm2e.discovery.url=/some/url/ |
