[buckminster-dev] Relative URI for local readerType in provider search path [message #532978] Tue, 11 May 2010 18:11 Go to next message

Originally posted by: michael.mckibben.twcable.com

Hi All,

I'm a new user to buckminster and I've been banging my head around coming up with a clean solution to importing local set of projects checked out in local directory via a perforce provider. Since the buckminster p4 provider is no longer available, I am trying to use the local reader to materialize a set of plugin projects.

My rmap and cquery files are already relative to where the projects are checked out, and I was hoping there is a buckminster equivalent to ANT's ${basedir} property. I can't use workspace.root, since the projects haven't been materialized into the eclipse workspace yet. I don't want to hard-code the absolute URI since developers checkout the sources to different locations on their workstations.

I was hoping I could write something similar to the following, but it doesn't seem possible:

<searchPath name="localbundles">
<provider componentTypes="osgi.bundle" readerType="local" source="true" mutable="true">
<uri format="{0}/../bundles/{1}">
<bc:propertyRef key="basedir"/> <!-- what do I use here??? -->
<bc:propertyRef key="buckminster.component"/>
<uri>
<!-- using a path relative to the rmap location doesn't work either -->
<uri format="../bundles/{0}">
<bc:propertyRef key="buckminster.component"/>
<uri>
</provider>
</searchPath>

Thanks in advance for any feedback

There is nothing stopping you from keeping things in a folder relative
to the workspace. You could hide it from normal view by calling it
".localp4files" or something similar.

The propertyRef should be able to pick up any defined property (defined
on the command line or in a property file).

Try "workspace.root"

Sorry, I sent this too early.

You can set the workspace.root to the intended location even though the workspace isn't there yet. Buckminster will need
the workspace.root to be set in order to do the import in any case.

The workspace root is set when you pass the -data <path> to the Buckminster import command.
