Description Brian de Alwis

2011-02-24 14:40:54 EST

Build: 3.6 and beyond

The p2 product publisher is not rewriting some of the important values in the Info.plist when publishing a product for MacOS X.  These fields are notably:

   CFBundleIdentifier
   CFBundleVersion
   CFBundleShortVersionString

The CFBundleIdentifier and CFBundleVersion are used by the MacOS X's package installer to find and upgrade previous versions of an app.  As a result, installing an RCP app will over-write any matching existing RCP apps or Eclipse installs!

Ideally other fields should be set as pulled from the .product file, or there should be a way to reference a suitably populated Info.plist file.

A fix has been committed to the publisher in the p2 incubator.

Closing as fixed since the incubator got merged.
Brian if this is not the case, please reopen.
