[solved] Problem with Buckminster running on linux [message #859167]

I noticed a different behavior of buckminster on linux after successfull tests on windows.

The First problem seems to be a classpath problem during the build phase. The plugin has a dependency on the swt class org.eclipse.swt.Display. In the targetplatform are the relevant plugin org.eclipse.swt.win32.win32.x86_3.6.1.v3655c.jar and the import works fine. But the build ends with errors.

here the Log:

INFO: importtargetdefinition '-A' '/tmp/src/swt.dependency.test.feature/targetplattform.target'
INFO: import '--properties' 'file:/tmp/src/swt.dependency.test.feature/buckminster.properties' '/tmp/src/swt.dependency.test.feature/buckminsterbuilder.cquery'
INFO: Import complete.
INFO: build '-c' '-t'
INFO: Resetting target platform Testtargetplattform
Error: file /tmp/src/swt.dependency.test/src/swt/dependency/test/Activator.java, line 6: The import org.eclipse.swt cannot be resolved
Error: file /tmp/src/swt.dependency.test/src/swt/dependency/test/Activator.java, line 22: Display cannot be resolved

To circumvent the problem with the different plattforms I set the arch, win and os properties but it doesn't help.

The second Problem is with resolving plugins recursive in the targetplattform directory. If I point the dir in the targetplattform definition file to a directory above the actutal plugins, this works fine on windows. On linux I must point the directory exactly to the directory whrere the plugins reside. Otherwise the import command fails. Fortunately this is only a minor problem.

The attached files contain an example. They are packed with 7-zip and automaticly spiltted, because of the size limitations for file uploads. The paths are based on /tmp. The src directory contains the plugin and feature projects. The relevant Buckminster files are located in the feature projects. I've added a script file for buckminster for easy testing my process.

swt.dependency.test are for the first problem
launcher.dependency.test are for the second problem

What's in your target platform -- following e.g. Ralf Ebert's tutorial and setting includeAllPlatforms="true" should take care of this. No explicit dependency on a particular SWT-implementation is required.

We use our own targeplattform and these contains only the windows related implementations. But the plugins have no plattform specific dependency.

The example contains a subset of our targetplattform and a simplified plugin to demonstrate my problem. Look at the swt.dependency.test plugin.

I've found a solution to both problems. Adding

<environment>
  <os>win32</os>
  <ws>win32</ws>
</environment>

to the targetplattform definition, worked.
