Hi,

I have written a RCP application. My sources are in a sourcecode control
system. Now I want to configure the PDE build, that it builds into a
target directory that is not under source control.

I set the -DbuildDirectory Parameter to the target folder.
I run the build from the source folder. But now the build fails to find
the feature I want to build, because it seems to search it in the target
folder. As I understand it in the buildDirectory the build will be done
and the features and plugins will be generated.

What did I wrong?

Try setting "buildTempFolder", the compilation results and such for
plugins should end up under there.

For features, you can also try "feature.temp.folder" I think.

If the top level feature that you are building is not in the
buildDirectory, you will need to set "elementPath" to point to the
feature's folder. The default value of elementPath is
"${buildDirectory}/${type}s/${id}" where type & id come from
topLevelElementType and topLevelElementId (or your allElements.xml)
