    <p>Eclipse 3.4[.x] - also known as <a href="http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/packages/" rel="noreferrer">Ganymede</a> - comes with this new mechanism of provisioning called <strong>p2</strong>.</p> <p>"Provisioning" is the process allowing to discover and update on demand some parts of an application, as explained in general in this article on the <a href="http://developers.sun.com/mobility/midp/articles/ota" rel="noreferrer">Sun Web site</a>.</p> <p>Eclipse has an extended <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Category:Equinox_p2" rel="noreferrer">wiki section</a> in which p2 details are presented. Specifically, it says in this wiki page that p2 will look for new components However after reading it.</p> <p>I suppose (but you may confirm that point by your own experience), that p2 can function file "file://" protocol, which would allow it to provision with <strong>local</strong> file (either on your computer or on an UNC path '\server\path'), as <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_PDE_Integration" rel="noreferrer">illustrated here</a>, but also by the files:</p> <ul> <li>[eclipse-SDK-3.4-win32]\eclipse\configuration\.settings\org.eclipse.equinox.p2.artifact.repository.prefs</li> <li>[eclipse-SDK-3.4-win32]\eclipse\configuration\.settings\org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.repository.prefs</li> </ul> <p>p2 mechanism is used to update eclipse itself, through an <a href="http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.4" rel="noreferrer">eclipse 3.4 update site</a>, and reference in those '.prefs' files with line like:</p> <blockquote> <p>repositories/file:_C:_jv_eclipse_eclipse-SDK-3.4-win32_eclipse/url=file:/C:/jv/eclipse/eclipse-SDK-3.4-win32/eclipse/</p> </blockquote> <p>Now, how could I replicate the eclipse components present in that update site into a local directory and reference those components through the mentioned '.prefs' files, <strong>in order to have an upgrade process entirely run locally</strong>, without having to access the web?<br> I suppose that some p2 metadata files present in the distant 'update site' need to be replicated and changed as well.</p> <p>Do you have any thoughts/advice/tips on that ? (i.e. on how to discover and retrieve and update the complete structure needed for a full eclipse installation, in order to run that installation locally)</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
