PDE headless build - repoBaseLocation not including while compiling [message #1698191]

I have an ant script to build my feature (PDE Headless build). My feature is having dependency on a external repo which is present in my local system (c:/folderx/repoBase).

To compile my feature against this external repo i have provided the values for repoBaseLocation and transformedRepoLocation as below

repoBaseLocation = c:/folderx/repoBase transformedRepoLocation=${buildDirectory}/transformedRepos

When the "pde-build" target executes, the transformed repo's are present in the "${buildDirectory}/transformedRepos" directory, but the compilation fails with the following error - "The method methodX() from the type Classx refers to the missing type ExternalClass".

where - Classx is present in my feature. ExternalClass is the class on which Classx is dependent.

The external repo folder contains the folders - binary, plugins, features and artifacts.jar, content.jar

And my "pde-build" target is as below:

<java classname="org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.Main" fork="true" failonerror="true">
        <arg value="-application" />
        <arg value="org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner" />
        <arg value="-buildfile" />
        <arg value="${eclipseLocation}/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build_${pdeBuildPluginVersion}/scripts/build.xml" />
        <arg value="-Dbuilder=${current.dir}" />
        <classpath>
            <pathelement location="${eclipseLocation}/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_${equinoxLauncherPluginVersion}.jar" />
        </classpath>
    </java>

When i build a different feature, which doesn't have dependency on the external repo, the build is successful.

Not sure what i have missed. Can someone help me to resolve this compilation issue?

Do you have a target definition file (.target extension)?
I use target definition file and and I can configure there local repos, containing artifacts.jar , content.jar like yours and repos located at update sites, like http://download.eclipse.org/releases/luna.
