Hi,
I've been trying to get a headless buuld for an RCP app working and while I
can automate the build I am not getting all the functionality provided by
the export wizard. I would be very grateful if someone could just cofirm if
all the functionality is supported in the scripts for a headless build. For
example I am having trouble including native launchers with custom names and
including the jre.
Many Thanks,
Tas

Hi Andrew,
I was using productBuild.xml but not using the delta-pack as my target. I'll
try that!
Also good to know there is a means to get the JRE included. I'll give it go.
Thanks for your help,
Tas

Hi Chris,
Thanks for such a great response to my question.
Chances are that the bug about deltapack is the cause. As for the JRE using
rootfiles seems very workable until Eclipse 3.6
I will try these out and see how I get on.
Thanks,
Tas
