Installing Subclipse, M2Eclipse, and M2Eclipse Extras into Eclipse Helios from Command Line?

Question

Dear All:

I am trying to automate the install process for OpenMRS developers http://wiki.openmrs.org/display/docs/Step+by+Step+Installation+for+Developers

I have found a helpful reference here: http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/p2_director.html

And have created a command line: ./eclipse -nosplash -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director -repository http://subclipse.tigris.org/update_1.6.x,http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e/,http://m2eclipse.sonatype.org/sites/m2e-extras/ -installIU org.maven.ide.eclipse,org.maven.ide.eclipse.scm,org.maven.ide.eclipse.subclipse,org.tigris.subversion.clientadapter,org.tigris.subversion.clientadapter.javahl,org.tigris.subversion.subclipse.core

That seems to mirror my Eclipse install.

However, on further investigation, it seems that certain things are not installed. Notably, all features related to the application seem completely missing under the features/ folder.

Is there a good way to see a list of all installable units in Eclipse?

The logs seem to record features, there is a bundles.list file that record bundles = plugins, but where can I see a log of installable units in Eclipse?

Thank you Misha

This was very helpfully answered by the equinox developers: http://old.nabble.com/List-of-installable-units-or-log---using-p2-director-to-automate-Subclipse%2C-M2eclipse%2C-and-M2eclipse-Extra-for-OpenMRS-developers-ts29693317.html

A complete list of all the IUs that have been installed is available in the most recent profile file located in /p2/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.engine/profileRegistry//

In order to facilitate things for you users, you may want to create one IU that refers to all the elements you need. This way your end user only has one thing to install

Thank you again
