How can I use ANT outside Eclipse to make a deployable RCP app? [message #435808]

Hi,

I got an Ant script that generates my plugin from outside Eclipse and
packages all the necessary things into a directory. However, I am stuck at
figuring out how to generate proper values in
configuration\org.eclipse.osgi and configuration\org.eclipse.core.runtime
folders.

Ideal situation is if I can just call some task from my Ant file that uses
my app.product configuration file and then deploys the stuff.

I went through
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-PDE-Automation/autom ation.html ,
but it is not very clear. And also to some previous posts about headless
builds.

Does anyone have any pointers or any samples of doing headless build and
deploy of RCP apps?

Regards
- Babu

Oh well, it turned out to be a non-issue.

All I had to do was generate a config.ini file inside configuration folder
and it runs. There was no need to put configuration/org.eclipse.osgi* and
runtime folders. These got generated at run-time.

Now, all this works for Windows. Don't know yet for Linux.

It is still not the "proper" way of running my product configuration from
Ant. Which means, if I change my product configuration, I will need to do
some changes to my ant file. Between the time required to figure this out
and the time I have, I am keeping this for later :-)
