preventing plugin jar files from being expanded without using features [message #443610]

I have some JAR files that contain only data.

I would like these to be deployed in their unpacked state.

The only way I can find to do this is to use a feature to wrap the JAR file.

However, I don't want to use features because I want more granularity in
controlling the composition of my product. I use several of the Eclipse
plugins, but the plugins I use are in different Eclipse features, and I
don't want to get *all* of the plugins in all of these features. For
example, I use the base EMF plugin, but not the editing plugins, so I
don't want the entire EMF feature.

Actually, in typing this I realize I can just create a feature that
contains all of the eclipse plugins I use, so that's fine.

However, it would be nice to be able to specify somewhere at the plugin
level that you prefer the plugin to be packaged as a JAR.

Is this possible, or shall I make an enhancement request?

Thanks,

Francis

Well, on the Plug-in overview page, when you click on the option 'Export Wizard', the Export dialog box pops up. There you would find a check-box option: 'Package individuals Plug-ins as individual JAR archives'

Hope that's what you are looking for.

Thanks

Thanks, but not really, that's when I export one plug-in at a time. I
want to export the entire product (using the product export page). And
in the course of doing that, it will not expand the plugins.

Sorry, I was not monitoring the thread for while.

I had a bug#122956 opened on eclipse, on similar lines. Maybe you can check that out, and add to it, if you have any variations.

Thanks
