I have troubles to get a headless featurebased RCP build. The error is: productBuild.xml:69: Unable to find feature: myotherfeature
My directory structure:
- workspace
|- myfeature
| |- feature.xml
| |- ...
|- myotherfeature
| |- headless
| | |- build.properties
| |- my.product
| |- feature.xml
|- ...
As you see, the features were created in the workspace, there is no dedicated "features" folder, because the features are "feature-projects" generated by eclipse in the workspace.
The build.properties file is a copy from the headless-directory of pde-plugin. I set following:
topLevelElement = feature
topLevelElementd = myotherfeature
product=/myotherfeature/my.product
builddirectory=<path to my workspace>
base=<path to parent directory of my eclipse-root>
baseLocation=<points to the eclipse root>
All other settings are irrelevant for my problem, I think.
The product-file has only one dependency: myotherfeature. This feature has its own dependencies, like myfeature and other plugins/features.
I can build the RCP in eclipse by clicking the link on the right of the product-editor overview-tab. AND also I can start the RCP directly using the "Start Eclipse application" link on the left.
If I change in build.properties the product-property to something, that does not exist, then there is the error, that it can't find the element in <workspace>/features/myotherfeature/my.product. Why it is searching in <workspace>/features and not just only in <workspace>? Maybe this is a hint for my problem.
Maybe this is a bug, because I can build another project, which is based on plugins only, there are no features.
Do I miss something? Any suggestions?
