Build Identifier: 20110505-1223 as much as I love the new feature in 3.7 (p2 import/export feature) I am missing support for local eclipse installations. the export to p2f is _only_ a reference to the original p2 update site. And this can really be a problem in practice as sometimes (of worse often) a certain version has been removed from the update site. removing stuff from update site is bad practice, I know but this is how it happens. I often want to mirror additional plugins that I have already in a certain eclipse installation. This is done with a easy trick: Just add a local update site eclipse/p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine/profileRegistry/SDKProfile.profile/ as and you are done. Is it such simple as that. Why does the new "Install Software items to/from file" not obey this possiblity ? Reproducible: Always
and are there any drawbacks with the method adding a local update site with eclipse/p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine/profileRegistry/SDKProfile.profile/
