Shortening the length when Exporting my RCP application [message #464107] Sat, 24 February 2007 16:31 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
Hello all.

I am developing an RCP app which uses some external plugins that I have
built by wrapping some external jars. My own RCP application is not that
large but each time that I like to export that to a stand alone
application, it takes around 10 minutes.

My external libraries, hence external plugins do not change and I
suspect most of time that it currently takes to export is spent on those
additional plugins. How can I avoid rebuilding the whole thing and only
have my own app to be rebuild? It currently creates one jar file from my
application, in addition to a number of other jars for other dependencies.


Many thanks
Ali

You could put all the external plugins in an own feature: one feature
for your product and one for the external plugins and build your product
depending on features. If the feature with the external plugins doesn't
change, it won't be rebuilded on build process.

You can just export the features or plugins to the export location as
opposed to the whole project. I think you only need to export the project
if the list of pligins/features in the project changes.

I continue developing and have not exported my product in a long while,
but I reexport my features daily while I test.
