[Cs-studio-users] [CSSTUDIO] eclipse and dropins

[Antoine T. <ant...@th...>]

Dear all,

I would like to install csstudio 4.6 with command-line in a eclipse RCP 
2019-03 installation. Eclipse use of  p2 is quite complex (shared 
bundlepool, etc.). The simplest way to do for me, to have a shared 
eclipse with shared plugins and multiuser, is:

 1. un-archive eclipse rcp
 2. use another account to install csstudio with eclipse p2
 3. use dropins

Such list is done like this in a docker build:

 1. # Untar eclipse.
    ADD ./AppHome/archive/eclipse-rcp-*-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
    /docker/eclipse/
 2. RUN time sudo -u eclipsepmcd eclipse -application
    org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -noSplash \
       -repository
    http://download.controlsystemstudio.org/applications/4.6,\
    http://download.controlsystemstudio.org/maven-osgi-bundles/4.6,\
    http://download.controlsystemstudio.org/core/4.6,\
    http://download.controlsystemstudio.org/thirdparty/4.6,\
    https://download.eclipse.org/releases/2019-03/201903201000,\
    https://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/R20190226160451/repository,\
    https://download.eclipse.org/efxclipse/runtime-released/3.4.3/site \
       -installIUs
    org.csstudio.applications.opibuilder.feature.feature.group
 3. Reuse of eclipse plugins and features from eclipsepmcd homedir:
    /tmp/dropins/pmcd/{features,plugins} refers to [EclipsePmcd
    homedir]/.eclipse/org.eclipse.platform_4.11.0_1573449857_linux_gtk_x86_64/{features,plugins}
    Then launch:
    eclipse --launcher.appendVmargs -vmargs
    "-Dorg.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.dropins.directory=/tmp/dropins"

This works well for all plugins I installed, except for Csstudio. I look 
at lots of documentations, including 
https://github.com/ControlSystemStudio/cs-studio/wiki/UpdateRepository , 
which says "SNS CSS from version 2.3.0 on has limited support for dropins".

Do you have any ideas how to make it work?

I also tried to run eclipse with Jdk 11 instead of 8, but it did change 
nothing. Thank you.
