Description Eugene Kuleshov CLA 2008-09-24 18:31:34 EDT
Eclipse 3.5m2 have teaser about newly added p2 published bundle but does not provide any references to Help, wiki or any other documentation or details about this bundle or the API. Please update N&N page and provide a link for such documentation. Thanks.
Comment 1 John Arthorne CLA 2008-09-25 11:19:50 EDT
There is currently no documentation to link.
Comment 2 Nick Boldt CLA 2009-04-17 14:16:42 EDT
+1, early adopters need at least some simple API doc & a usage example in the wiki. 

Or, better... if you run the tool w/o options & flags, spit out a usage guide to console! Then it's inline and right next to the source itself.
Comment 3 Ian Bull CLA 2009-05-11 17:44:41 EDT
I have started to document the publisher at:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Publisher

More coming this week.
Comment 4 John Arthorne CLA 2009-05-29 14:39:44 EDT
For RC4 we need documentation in the Platform Plug-in Developer Guide on how to use the various publisher applications and ant tasks. Is this what you're working on Ian?

Publisher docs

This is the start of the publisher ISV docs.  It is not ready yet, but I wanted to put it here so it doesn't get lost.

I have released this in HEAD. Could you please provide another patch to remove references to the legacy update manager (we don't want people to have to worry about this) and also to the wiki. Thx.

This patch adds some more information to the publisher and cleans up a few things. I also added a link to PDE build.

Fixed.
Comment 14 Ian Bull CLA 2009-06-03 22:26:09 EDT
Andrew released some new information on PDE Build and p2.  The docs I wrote point to the old information.  I will fix that.

Updates the links to point to the new PDE / p2 docs

This updates the links to point to pde_p2_builds.htm instead of pde_p2_integration.html.  pde_p2_builds is the docs that Andrew wrote that describe how PDE Build and the Publisher work.
Comment 16 John Arthorne CLA 2009-06-04 08:50:46 EDT
Thanks Ian, patch released.
