Launcher is not included with Buckminster build [message #644690]

Hello Buckminster community --

so far so good -- with the latest (3.6.1) Eclipse, Delta Pack and Buckminster I can materialize my features and plugins. I can use the Buckminster actions to create a p2 site.

What I need to do is also include an executable, ie launcher, with the deployed p2 site. I have been scouring the newsgroup and web and have not figured out how to do this.

I have tried including org.eclipse.equinox.executable feature in my product; I have created a cspex based on the example which has a create.product action. This action calls equinox.p2.director, gives it the p2 repository and the iu in the profile.

The output does not include a launcher. The iu I'm giving it is the top level feature which includes the product. I have specified the current os etc.

What am I doing wrong?

thanks

Tamar

Hi Tamar,

You should not provide the feature as your IU but rather product itself - what was defined in the product drop down of the product definition file. Also, you don't need to include executable feature - Buckminster takes care of that I believe.

A target definition like this (http:// code.google.com/p/iskaboo/source/browse/trunk/bucky/com.i.te st.product.feature/product.target?r=25) should be enough to define launchers. What I mean is that you don't need delta pack.

AHA!

Thank you so much Alex I discovered 2 issues, one being the iu had to be the product and not the feature as you outlined.

The other is when specifying the os, I had typed 'osx' instead of 'macosx'

thanks again for your help! Now ... on to promoting Buckminster to my institution ...

One more thing - not sure if you know this, when defining launchers make sure you check 'Include all environments' as described here http://www.ralfebert.de/blog/eclipsercp/rcp_builds/#target, otherwise you will end up with launcher only for the platform you are building on.

Alex
