| headless PDE build: how can I force resolution of a modified plugin? [message #597958] |

I'm using Eclipse 3.4.2 to do a headless PDE build
for a product where I'm importing a standard plugin
(org.eclipse.cdt.make.ui) as a source project and making
some minor changes to the plugin code.
What I'm seeing is that when I export the product from
within Eclipse (File->Export, Eclipse Product), it builds
as expected and the standard CDT plugin is replaced
with my modified version.
When running a headless build, however, the behavior isn't
determinstic: on some runs it's replaced and on other runs
the original version of the plugin is picked up.
Is there a way to force the headless build to resolve
the plugin correctly, or equivalently is there something
else I need to do (like specify a dependency or a
different version number on the modified plugin)?
Currently, my modified CDT plugin has the same version
number as the original; I've tried changing the version number
(e.g. incrementing it to 5.0.2, etc.) but this does not work
because something (maybe the CDT feature) is still looking
for the original version:
Problems during export
Unable to find plug-in: org.eclipse.cdt.make.ui_5.0.1.200902130801. Please
check the error log for more details.
Unable to find plug-in: org.eclipse.cdt.make.ui_5.0.1.200902130801. Please
check the error log for more details.
The product is defined as one feature, which includes the
modified plugin together with some other custom plugins.
The feature also includes the two "platform" features
(org.eclipse.cdt, org.eclipse.platform), and the product
invokes the org.eclipse.ui.ide.workbench application.
When I compare the output of a successful headless run with
a failed headless run, it appears that the eclipse.generateFeature
task is attempting to resolve the modified plugin, since I always
see the following in the build log output:
generateFeature:
[eclipse.generateFeature] Some inter-plug-in dependencies have not been
satisfied.
[eclipse.generateFeature] Bundle org.eclipse.cdt.make.ui:
[eclipse.generateFeature] Another singleton version selected:
org.eclipse.cdt.make.ui_5.0.1.200902130801
In the generated "build.xml" file for the feature, I see that
the "all.plugins" target either does or does not include
an entry for the modified CDT plugin, based on how the
plugin gets resolved.
<target name="all.plugins" depends="init">
<ant antfile="build.xml" dir="../../plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.make.ui"
target="${target}">
<property name="arch" value="x86"/>
<property name="ws" value="gtk"/>
<property name="os" value="linux"/>
</ant>
... other custom plugins ...
</target>
Any suggestions on what I should change to get the
modified plugin to be resolved consistently?
It's almost there, it's like I only need to specify
one more constraint to make it happen. :-)
