Hi

In a site.p2 I'm building with Buckminster I want to have source
features (and this is automatic) but I'd like to exclude some source
feautures... is it possible to do so?

I need this because in my site.p2 I want to add an sdk which is in my
target platform, however, this sdk seems to bring in some required
source bundles which however is not available in the target (typically
com.google.guice.source).

Is it possible to do so?

thanks in advance
Lorenzo

I don't think so. As source features are automatically generated, I think they always contain 'source' entries for every feature and plug-in in the non-source feature. Therefore if you include an sdk feature, Buckminster may be trying to create an sdk.source feature - and if the sdk contains com.google.guice but no com.google.guice.source, Buckminster may have added com.google.guice.source to the the sdk.source feature.

Tom would have to confirm that, though.

I wonder if including an 'sdk' is the right thing to do. I've not seen other eclipse features include an sdk. A product that is built from the feature, and would normally only contain binaries would also then contain .source plug-ins from that sdk feature...a bit weird.

Well, the context where I need to include sdk features is when I need to
build a product which is a custom eclipse distribution (say with
org.eclipse.sdk feature and other sdk features like xtext.sdk for
instance)...

If an sdk feature requires a .source plug-in but does not provide it itself, and you do not provide it in another feature somewhere, then you would not be able to build an eclipse distribution, with that feature. Director will complain about the missing dependency. You would have to point Director to your feature's p2.site and also a p2.site containing the guice.source plug-in. i.e. you need to have com.google.guice.source somewhere if you are going to use that sdk feature in your product.

I think that the sdk feature does not require com.google.guice.source in
fact, if I build the site excluding sources completely (i.e., using
cbi.include.source=false ) the site builds fine... that's why I'd need
to selectively exclude only some sources...

this seems not to be possible...

so is there some way to provide a fake component, like
com.google.guice.source ? in a CSPEX?

thanks in advance
Lorenzo
