PDE Build: building Source feature. [message #72871] Thu, 02 June 2005 18:59 Go to next message

Hi Everybody,

I am building a feature using PDE build process and also trying to
generate source feature and plugins also. As per the documentation I
have read so far, we have to make two entries.
1. In build.properties in feature project, add "generate.feature" script
2. Add "<includes>" element in feature.xml

Using this, I get the distributable zip file as I want but it includes
all zip files of the plug-ins source code.
My question is, are the source code zips supposed to be included in the
binary distributable? I want all the source code zips to go to a
different zip file. I have a limited idea about building source features.

Any kind of help is highly appreciated.


Thanks.

Vasant,
I assume you are making reference to this fine article:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-PDE-Automation/autom ation.html

What you get is a feature, and a plugin extending
org.eclipse.pde.core.source.
The plugin contains only the sources as a zip.
The whole zip will contain everything, binary plugins and source plugins as
well as the related features.
If you want two different zips one with source only, the other without
sources, check how this is done:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.releng. eclipsebuilder/
Each directory corresponds to a set of builds.
You might need a bit of customization of the customTargets.xml to accomplish
what you want as Eclipse is typically distributed as binaries only or
binaries+sources.

Thanks, a lot, Philippe for your reply.
Yes, I was making reference to the same link.

I will go through the link you have provided and see if it explains what
I need to do. It would also be great if you could let me know which
folder I can take a look at from the link you have sent, because the
link contains many different folders.

Thanks again.
Vasant.

Dear Vasant,
I doubt you will find any explanantion, but the code and the article should
help you make your way around.
And if you want to write some explanantion for everybody to enjoy, that
would very nice!

Thanks, Philippe, for coming back.
I will dig through the code and shall write some explanation about
seperating the source and binary once I figure it out.

Thanks again,
Vasant
