Additional Files for Deployed Product [message #334456]

Is there a way to automate the adding of external files / folders into my
deployed product ?

For instance I would like to add my "Reporting" folder and
"configuration.ini" file under the root folder. Currently what I do I just
manually copy those files and folders.

This depends on how you are building your product.

If you have a normal feature build, or a productBuild based on features,
then you can add root files using one of your features.
http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclips e.pde.doc.user/tasks/pde_rootfiles.htm

If you have a plugin based productBuild and are using 3.5 for your
builder, then there are some details at the bottom of that help page.

If you have 3.4 or earlier you will need to create a feature and get it
inserted into the build, which can be done by setting a property
"featureList", see
