Hi,
I am building an eclipse product with the buckminster version for
3.5RC4. I noticed that no launcher icon gets created although it works
with the eclipse export product wizard.
I wanted to create a patch for that, but after some investigation I'm
really not sure which component is actually behaving wrong, so I just
post my results so far:
Let's say my workspace consists of a feature project 'feature' with a
..product file and a plugin project 'product' with the launcher icon and
the product extension.
-WS
|-product
-icon.ico
-plugin.xml
|-feature
-feature.xml
-product.product
After debugging the P2SiteGenerator#getProductDescriptor I noticed the
following:
It executes new ProductFile(productFile.getAbsolutePath())
The ProductFile starts parsing and retrieves the image paths. This is
done in the addIcon method ('value' is the location entered in the
..product file and 'location' is the absolute location of the .product file):
if(!new File(value).isAbsolute())
value = new File(location.getParentFile(),
value).getAbsolutePath();
list.add(value);
The path produced by the chooser dialog in the .product editor seems to
be relative to the workspace root. In the given example that makes
/product/icon.ico
Applying the above method will result in
/abs/path/to/workspace/feature/product/icon.ico when it really should be
/abs/path/to/workspace/product/icon.ico
So obviously this path is wrong and it's of no surprise that the icon is
missing in the produced launcher. If I manually edit the path from
/product/icon.ico to /icon.ico and copy the icon from 'product' to
'feature' everything works fine (although the .product editor complains
about a path pointing nowhere).
I hope that was a somewhat understandable description.
I'd open a bug, but I'm very unsure if it's the .product editor's fault,
the ProductFile class' fault, buckminster's fault for not doing some
secret magic the eclipse product export is doing, or my own, for a
misshaped project layout.
Please let me know if I should open a bugzilla for that (but on which
component?) or if can otherwise be of support.
Best regards,
Johannes

Hi Johannes,
Please open a bugzilla for this. Use Product=Buckminster and Component=PDE support for now. If it turns out the problem
lays elsewhere, it's easy to move the bug later on.
As always, a sample that reproduces the problem is very helpful. It's not a requirement of course but it generally saves
us a lot of time when fixing the problem. It's also a good way of verifying the fix.
Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
