Headless RCP Product build missing dependent plugins [message #606487] Thu, 19 August 2010 18:13 Go to next message

I finally read somewhere ( http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-PDE-Automation/autom ation.html ) that all of the plugins included in a feature, must be included in the map file in order for them to be built.

That is fine and is working for all the plugins that we code, and keep in CVS and want to compile at build time.

However, what I am building is a complete application that utilizes external plugins not kept in our CVS and not compiled by us at anytime. Things like or.eclipse.jface.

None of these external sourced plugins are in our CVS so they are not in the map file. I get lots of errors about that in the build...."Missing directory entry:..."

And in the end, they are not included in the product archive.

We have one large target full of these things, from which we assemble many products. I don't want to just include the entire target directory.

What is even more frustrating is that when you build using the Product Export through the IDE, it works just as we want, and expect.

Can someone help me out with how to get these other feature dependencies included in the product build output?

Preston.

Hi,

Take a look at customTargets.xml and customAssembly.xml.

Here are some good resources:
