Description Hugues Malphettes CLA 2010-05-24 18:26:14 EDT 
Currently to get the ProductPublisherApplication to generate the org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator/bundles.info it is necessary to generate a config.ini file and that file must contain the property:
"org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator.configUrl"

This is because ProductFileAdvice#createDataLoader() returns null if no config.ini file could be located and also because the org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.publisher.eclipse.DataLoader is looking for that property.

It would be a good enhancement to support generating everything from the product file. For example when we see that the product file defines org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator in the autostart bundles with the level-1 the publisher could generate the rest of the config for the simpleconfigurator and bundles.info.

This was happening when I was having director install into an existing non-p2-abled eclipse application.
When installing in a brand new folder there is no such issue.
I don't think this is an interesting situation to support.

Sorry for the noise.
