pde build with ant doesn't embed launcher anymore since 3.5 [message #68508]

Hi all.
I have an rcp application made from a few plugins that is built on an
integration portal using Ant.

Since I passed to 3.5 version of Eclipse, all the builds work well except
last one that is related to the "master" plugin (that contains the
Application and the .product).
Well, in fact, it works and finishes with no error but now, the result zip
file doesn't contain the OS specific launcher anymore.

Does someone have an idea on why this behavior changed while I didn't
change anything but the version of Eclipse to use in my plugins.

Notes :
- a build using "product export" wizard works well and contains the
launcher.
- the laucher is not is result zip whatever the target platform (linux-gtk
or win32)
- I have no use of Eclipse Update mechanism and only want as result a zip
containing all needed to launch my Application (except JRE).

Any help would be greatly appreciated as I searched with no success since
almost a week.

Hi martin,

for the OS specific launcher,
Are these can be help?
see here : http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse .pde.doc.user/tasks/pde_p2_buildtasks.htm

and specifically : "In particular, instead of producing per-platform archives, the build will produce a single p2 repository which is a group of all the platforms"

Thanks Aurelien for this answer.

My problem is that I don't want to use a P2 repository. I don't need an
update site, I just need a single zip build just same as the result of the
"product export" wizard you can call with a right-click on a .product file.

It should be possible as it worked through ANT before the 3.5 and it still
works (even with multiple platforms) on 3-5 with the wizard.

Hi Martin!

Maybe this is related to

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=281353
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=248578
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=278086

I solved the problem by separating the Eclipse which runs the build
(org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner) and the target platform (including the
delta pack).
