Controlling primary fetures within CVS [message #120063]

Hi, I have read that a primary feature requieres a plugin with exactly
the same name.

I am looking for comments about how to maintain the feature and the
plugin on the same CVS. What are you doing?

Thanks in advance,

Chemi.

Typically the project in Eclipse and CVS for the feature has "-feature"
attached to the name. (I.e. the project that has the feature.xml in it).
For example if your feature was x.y.z the project for the feature would
be x.y.z-feature

Thanks, I was doing this and then the build.xml script changes the name
when exporting.....

Thanks,

Chemi.

Are you saying it isn't working correctly, or that it is working correctly?

The build.xml isn't renaming the project itself is it? Or is the
build.xml renaming the feature instead to have -feature on the end?

Sorry, I didn't explain corectly myself.

What I mean is that I followed your suggestion. My feture project has a
es.org.chemi.games.feature name within CVS. But at deployment time, it
should be called es.org.chemi.games (I mean under /fetaures directory).

So I wrote an ANT script which export the feature content into a
es.org.chemi.games directory name.

That's all.

Thanks,

Chemi.

That shouldn't be necessary. Use PDE's export Feature and it will do all
of that for you. No special ANT script is needed. Look up feature
developement in the help guide for PDE Features.

Thanks Rich, I was not aware of that feature. Is it new to R2.1?

Well, the porblem is that it seems it is not aware of some important
files like: .options, plugin.properties, /icons, welcome.xml, etc.....
which are not exported. Id there any way to customize the export process?

Thanks again,

Chemi.

And it doesn't extract Help plugins.

My feature refers to five plugins: three of them with code (so with /src
and /bin directories) and two of them just with help content (so no /src
directory). The export feature just include the first three plugins. ¿?

Thanks in advance,

Chemi.

I don't know about the help. Never tried it. But to get the other files,
you update the build.properties file. In bin.includes= line you list,
separated by commas, all of the other files you want in the binary build
that are not being copied now.

To see what all goes in the build.properties files, go to the PDE help
and look under deploying fragments->Build Configuration. (Not exactly
sure of all of the intermediate nodes in the help tree, but the last
node is Build Configuration). It may be that for the non-code help
plugins you need some build.properties entries set.

Thank you very much Rich. As I started to develop plugins with Eclipse
R1.0 and AFAIK this export features didn't exist, I created my own ANT
scripts and I have continued developing with them. Now it seems
everything is easier. So the trick is to update the buil.properties file
instead my build.xml file. Cool.

Thanks again,

Chemi.
