It sounds like there already exists a repository at ${p2.metadata.repo}, and it isn't a composite repository. At the least we should protect against the problem and return an error message. Another possibility would be to create a composite repository beside the existing one and add both the existing ${p2.metadata.repo} and the new "file://myadditionalrepo" to the composite
An error message would be fine, thanks.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
