Though I have been doing some digging inside the source code I think the following is a little strange : SearchForUpdatesResolutionJob --> computeProfileChangeRequest --> session.getProfileRegistry().getProfile(profileId); --> returns null !!! So there is no profile ? Do I need to define a profile ? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Check-out "org.eclipse.equinox.p2.examples.rcp.prestartupdate" from CVS 2. Run product
While I don't know for sure, it could be a configuration / setup problem. Do you have a eclipse.p2.data.area set? Also, are you starting the declarative services bundle? These are two common problems that could lead to no profile.
Closing as works for me. We can't do much without more context.
