| This section covers briefly using the p2 director for installing. |
| A helpful page is the p2 director's <a class="ulink" href="http://help.eclipse.org/indigo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/p2_director.html" target="_top">documentation at help.eclipse.org</a>. |
| There you can find more information on the different supported arguments. |
| </p><p> |
| Here's how to use the GUI version of the director built-in Eclipse. |
| </p><p> |
| 1. Go to the <span class="emphasis"><em>Run</em></span> context menu and select <span class="emphasis"><em>Run Configurations</em></span> |
| </p><p> |
| 2. Create a new one and choose the director application as shown below, then switch to the <span class="emphasis"><em>Arguments</em></span> tab |
| </p><div class="important" title="Important" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Important</h3>In the image below the "Location:" text box's value is managed by your IDE, don't type anything in there.</div><p> |
| <img src="images/run_configuration.png"> |
| </p><p> |
| In the <span class="emphasis"><em>Program Arguments</em></span> section append the director arguments. Here's an example I used: |
| </p><pre class="screen">-repository http://download.eclipse.org/virgo/updatesite/3.5.0 |
| -installIU nano.product |
| -tag InitialState |
| -destination <span class="bold"><strong>/Users/<youruser>/install/virgo</strong></span> |
| -profile VirgoProfile |
| -roaming |
| -p2.os ${target.os} |
| -p2.ws ${target.ws} |
| -p2.arch ${target.arch} |
| </pre><p> |
| </p><div class="important" title="Important" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Important</h3><p>The <span class="emphasis"><em>-repository</em></span> argument accepts any valid p2 repository.</p><p>The <span class="emphasis"><em>-destination</em></span> argument accepts any valid absolute location. It defines the location where your Virgo installation will be provisioned. |
| If the directory does not exist, it will be created by the director.</p></div><p> |
| These arguments produce a Virgo Nano installation. For the <span class="emphasis"><em>p2.*</em></span> arguments use the same properties from the example above. Eclipse will substitute them later with real values. |
| </p><p> |
| The passed value for <span class="emphasis"><em>-installIU</em></span> determines which Virgo product is going to be installed. Here's a list of all Virgo product install IUs: |
| </p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>nano.product</em></span> - Virgo Nano</p><p> |
| </p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>nano-full.product</em></span> - Virgo Nano Full (VN + p2 + GW)</p><p> |
| </p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>kernel.product</em></span> - Virgo Kernel</p><p> |
| </p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>tomcat-server.product</em></span> - Virgo Server for Apache Tomcat</p><p> |
| </p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>jetty-server.product</em></span> - Virgo Jetty Server</p><p> |
| </p><p> |

| </p><p> |
| 3. Finally, run the created configuration. You should see the following output in Eclipse's Console |
