Don't pack Plug-In when deploying [message #536076]

Hi.

I export my RCP product by using the "Eclipse product export wizard". One of my Plug-Ins has some resource that is not functional when inside a packed jar. Can I specify somewhere that this Plug-In is not to be packed/jared?

Best regards,
Kai

the old way of doing this is to declare a feature containg your plugin. when you add a plugin to a feature there is an option (a checkbox entitled "Unpack this plugin archive after installation")

This is an option you can set or unset for each plugin in the feature.

I have used this capabilities succesfully a number of time.

as mentioned above using the Eclipse-BundleShape manifest header seems to be a newer option to achieve the same at the plugin level which is compatible with p2.

cheers,
p.

Hi all,

The Eclipse-BundleShape manifest header is not working for me, as well
as for other users who have made some comments in the blog post below.

So I opened the following bug:

Is your product feature-based?

Hi all,

No, it's based on plug-ins.

Do you use a recent version of Eclipse?
Another old-fashion way to skip packing is to create a META-INF/eclipse.inf file in your plugin, which contains a jarprocesor.exclude=true line.

I'm on 3.5.2.

Unfortunately neither jarprocesor.exclude=true nor
jarprocessor.exclude=true work for me. My plug-ins always end up being
exported as jar files...

The jarprocessor options refer to pack200 processing which is unrelated to
this problem. (http://wiki.eclipse.org/Pack200)
