Possible to have multiple features in one project? [message #41403] Wed, 21 January 2009 21:02 Go to next message

It seems that every feature has to be in its own (tiny) project. That
seems very inefficient in terms of management and organization - is
there any trick that would allow multiple features in a single project?

Look at the org.eclipse.sdk-feature project in
dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse.

There are a bunch of feature in subdirectories of that project. Map
file entries for those nested features then look like:
feature@org.eclipse.pde.sdk=v20080313a,:pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org :/cvsroot/eclipse,,org.eclipse.sdk-feature/features/org.ecli pse.pde.sdk

I notice that the project does not have the nature
org.eclipse.pde.FeatureNature nor include org.eclipse.pde.FeatureBuilder
- what is the impact of missing the nature and builder? Can you still do
IDE exports of products and update sites that use features in such a
project?

Thanks,
Eric

The features are projects themselves, so they can be checked out
individually as well.

When checking out the parent project, you can't export the nested
features. You can export the features if you check them out
individually. I do notice the nested feature projects don't have the
feature nature either, I don't know what does other than you can't right
click on the feature.xml and generate a build.xml. Also, I expect any
warnings that PDE would put on features wouldn't show up either.

Headless build itself does not care about the feature nature.
