I have found a "solution" to my problem.
Outline of my Eclipse projects:
* a couple of plugin projects (obviously with dependencies on other
Eclipse plugins)
* 1 Eclipse feature project (featureA) containing all plugins mentioned
above in the plugins tab of the feature.xml editor
* 1 Eclipse feature project (featureB) containing the rootfiles
(eclipse.exe, startup.jar, ...) for the product to be exported. It has
featureA and org.eclipse.rpc as "Included features".
* A regular Java project containing the build.properties,
allElements.xml and customTargets.xml file for the headless PDE build.
It has been configured to start the build at featureB.
* Using Eclipse 3.2 with PDE plugin org.eclipse.pde.build_3.2.0.v20060603.
Description of the problem and solution:
In the featureA project I have let Eclipse calculate the dependencies
via the "compute" button on the Dependencies page in the feature.xml
editor. When the compute has finished, the page contains a number of
extra plugins.
When I use this setup for a headless PDE build, it get the problem
described below (necessary plugins are not copied resulting in an
inability to start the product).
However, if I manually add all the plugins, that have previously been
calculated automatically, to the Plugins page of the feature.xml editor
of the featureA project, the build succeeds without a problem.
So it seems that the plugins in the Dependency page or not taken into
account during headless PDE build, but the ones in the Plugins page are.
Is this the normal way of working or is this a bug ?
Thanks,
Thomas.
