Dear all,
I currently build my project using the headless PDE build, this means a
couple of files (global build.properties and allElements.xml) to build a
whole project (= a set of Eclipse plugins and features).
I'm facing an issue with a particular project which contains a plugin that
we don't want to build. This plugin is NOT referenced at all by any
feature of the project, but PDE still tries to bulid it and the process
stops because PDE is not able to properly execute the "generateScript"
target for this plugin.
So my question is pretty simple: How can I exclude a whole plugin from my
projects?
Thanks in advance for the help.

I'm pretty sure the only way PDE Build would try to build it is if it is
either included in one of the features your are building or it is
declared as a dependency in one of the other plugins.
The "Plug-in Dependencies" view can help you find what is referencing it.
Hope this helps,
Eric

Hi,
PDE-Build skips bundles that have no build.properties. Maybe that's a
solution?
Anyway, I agree to Eric that this bundle should be ignored if it isn't
referenced in a feature. Strange...
Regards,
Stefan.

Can you reproduce this with a simple example that can be attached to a
bug report? That is the best way to get someone to look at (and
potentially fix) it.
