I am working on a plugin project. I'd like to automatically build the
plugin, that is, produce a .zip file containing my .jar file, my plugin.xml
file, and a zipped-up source archive.
So, I set up my build.properties to specify the contents; I go to PDE
Tools -> Create Ant Build File and make a build.xml; and then I run the
resulting build.xml with Ant.
Q1: assuming I start out by cleaning any previously created build products,
how do I indicate that I want my jar file to be part of the plugin.zip file?
It doesn't show up in the list of directory contents (the list of things
with checkboxes) until I've actually built it.
Q2: what the heck is the difference between the Source Build and the Binary
Build? Which one do I use? The best I can find in the docs is "don't worry
about the Source Build, you probably don't need it", and that's not a deeply
satisfying answer.
Thanks!
