Hi,

I've got a weird problem here, using the headless build stuff. I have the
eclipse sdk thats used to build and package my RCP app extended to include
a python support plugin. However as soon as my RCP app requires that plugin
the build goes completely wrong, for some reason the generated scripts for
the headless builds pick up that support plugin as something that they also
need to build instead of a "binary" plugin just like all the other plugins
in the SDK.

Does somebody have an idea why this might happen? If anybody needs logs or
the assemble.* files I can post them as well.

Andreas

Andreas,

The headless build decides that a plugin is "binary" if it is a folder
and has a "build.properties" file in its root.

If this bundle is binary but has a build.properties file for some other
reason then you are going to have problems. You would likely need to
add pde.build properties to the file get it assembled without trying to
compile it.

Hi Andrew,

thanks, removing the build.properties solved my building problem.
