I am using PDE/API Tools, especially the Ant Task "APIFreezeTask" (org.eclipse.pde.api.tools.internal.tasks.APIFreezeTask)

I want to use regular expressions in the ant task as described in the documentation

http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse .pde.doc.user/reference/api-tooling/ant-tasks/apifreeze-ant- task.htm
http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse .pde.doc.user/reference/api-tooling/ant-tasks/apiuse-ant-tas k.htm

for example :

# exclude list
R:at.allianz.external.Tool*

The regular expression does not work. So I debugged the APIFreezeTask, and found out the following in
org.eclipse.pde.api.tools.internal.util.Util :

public static Set initializeRegexExcludeList(String location, IApiBaseline baseline) {
...
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
if(line.startsWith(REGULAR_EXPRESSION_START)) {
if(baseline != null) {
Util.collectRegexIds(line, list, baseline.getApiComponents());
}
...
}

So if baseline is null, the regex will not be evaluated.

The only reference to this method is in org.eclipse.pde.api.tools.internal.tasks.CommonUtilsTask :


protected static Set initializeExcludedElement(String excludeListLocation) {
return Util.initializeRegexExcludeList(excludeListLocation, null);
}


So, baseline is null for sure. So the regex will not work for sure.

How was this intended to work ?
Will this work in any future version ?
Am I wrong in my analysis ?
Did I oversee something ?
Is there a workaround ?

This is indeed a bug. I opened a new report here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=309481

> How was this intended to work ?

As the doc states the baseline is required, and it should be passed in to compute the exclude list entries

> Will this work in any future version ?

We will fix the issue for 3.6M7

> Am I wrong in my analysis ?

Nope, you are correct, this is broken and will be fixed

> Is there a workaround ?

Sort of - you would have to explicitly exclude every entry, and not use the R:<pattern> style expression

The documentation should also be updated as it doesn't talk about regular expressions for the api freeze task.
