Should I use product definitions to create my equinox package? [message #487186]

Hi,

I struggled creating an equinox package that contains just the bundles
that I need.

What I did was to create a new eclipse product definition from an
existing launch configuration. In the product definition one has to
specify an Application. In my case there's no application... (I just
selected the workbench), it somehow works. Maybe because I pass
-DignoreApp=true?

Then I simply exported the product and wow, I just got what I wanted.

Is this a good way to create my tailored osgi package?

Thanks,
Felix

Apparently I didn't read the quickstart (I thought I did, probably
didn't pay too much attention :-s). With this document, I can start.

I've come across many people who use product definitions as a way to
create OSGi Applications. In Eclipse 3.5, the PDE team made quite a bit
of enhancements to make this easier for people who are just creating
headless or server-side OSGi applications. Within EclipseSource, we are
using product definitions for a lot of server-side OSGi work. It works
quite well in the majority of cases.
