Equinox/p2/TracingOptions

Introduction

For tracing where things are being downloaded from both of the following must be specified in an options file:

• Generally enable tracing for p2.core:

 org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/debug=true

• Tracing where things are being downloaded from:

 org.eclipse.equinox.p2.core/artifacts/mirrors=true

Then invoke the desired p2 application with -debug path_to_your_options_file.
