To add a remote P2 repository to Artifactory, enter the URL to the corresponding P2 metadata files (content.jar, artifacts.jar, compositeContent.xml
, etc.) and click the Add button.
A common example is the main Juno repository: http://download.eclipse.org/releases/juno
Artifactory analyzes the added URL and identifies which remote repositories should be created in Artifactory based on the remote P2 metadata (since remote P2 repositories may aggregate information from different hosts).
Tip
When P2 metadata files reside inside an archived file, simply add '!' to the end of the URL.
For example: http://eclipse.org/equinox-sdk.zip!/
