Headless build site.p2: problems [message #643929]

Dear all,
I followed the tutorial in BuckyBook and I was able to successfully create an update site of my plugins.
The problem is when I try to do it headless, buckminster complains with the following message:
"No component named org.eclipse.ui.ide:osgi.bundle/3.5.1 is known to Buckminster"

My plugins are not an eclipse product, they depends on a specific version of other plugins I've commited from an svn repository and other plugins installed in eclipse.
I want to create a headless build using the plugins present on my workspace (therefore I don't think I need a RMAP to materialize a workspace).
To do this I've invoked buckminster using the following command:
"./buckminster -data <my_workspace> perform <my_updatesite_feature>#site.p2"

I think the problem is that the buckminster headless does not have installed the "org.eclipse.ui.ide" plugin. Since I didn't manage to install it from the eclipse project
update site (using the command "buckminster install...") I've copied all the plugins from my eclipse installation to the buckmisnter one.
The problem, of course, remains!

Do you have some advice on this please? Is my procedure correct or do I need to do more work to create a headless build?

By default, the target platform used when building is the target
platform for the runtime executing the build - in your case the headless
environment (where indeed there are no ui components installed).

You need to define a target platform to build against. This is good
practice when building using the IDE as well as it separates the
concerns of the environment used by the tooling and what you build
against. You can for instance build against older eclipse versions while
using the latest version of the IDE.

There are several ways to create and maintain target platform
definitions - from completely manual, using p2, and having buckminster
create the TP.

You will find many post on this subject in this forum esp. related to
people building headlessly with Hudson where they separate the creation
of the TP from the builds.

Hope that helps as a starting point.
