Headless PDE vs non-headless differs [message #912083]

We are trying to do a PDE headless build with no other helper applications (no Hudson or Buckminister). This is not my choice but it is what it is. Also, we are not doing a feature build, just a regular product-type build (for lack of a better term).

Both builds work (headless vs. eclipse built). What we are seeing is that one of the builds creates some of the plugins as jar files and the other build creates them as plugins in a directory with all of the files in the directory.

Is there a way to make the builds work the same? Is there some option we overlooked that may be causing the difference in the builds? Do we need to set something in our build.properties file to fix this?

Thanks.

In the build.properties of the headless build

#Set to true if you want the output to be ready for an update jar (no site.xml generated)
outputUpdateJars = true

should do it.
