Hi everyone,

using DocBook and ANT I generate my Eclipse help plugin contents from DocBook input. For this, I have a "docbook" folder in my help plugin, containing the sources and a build.xml at top level right next to plugin.xml.

As I have a feature and an updatesite plugin for all my product's plugins I added the help plugin to this feature, too. Now, everytime I build the feature using the updatesite editor the build.xml in my help plugin is gone after the build is finished.

I'm using Eclipse Galileo Modeling SR2. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?

Rgrds,
Robert

build.xml is used by PDE to build stuff. So, you need to name yours
differently.
