Hi,
There's a big hole in the exporting of Ant scripts, and I wonder if it's
an oversight.
The Export->Ant buildfile action handles java projects reasonably (and
I've submitted some patches for the outstanding bugs, such as lack of
JUnit4 support).
However, it falls over when it encounters Plug-in Deps on the classpath
and doesn't export a usable Ant script.
But... PDE has an action "Create Ant Build File" that is visible when
plugin.xml is selected..
There's a problem though: it doesn't appear for an OSGi bundle, which is
where we've got a hole in teh support.
I'm working on OSGi projects, not Eclipse plugin projects, but this
option isn't available for me.
Is not not perhaps time that we took these two seperate Ant Export
implementations, and sorted out a framework...?
But.. in the short term, how about enabling the plug-in export for OSGi
projects?
I could put some time in, if someone could point me at how to enable the
menu item for OSGi projects... I can then walk through the code and see
what configs break teh existing code.
Cheers,
Neale

Err.. not sure what I wasn't doing. It is available by right-clicking on
Manifest.mf and selecting from the PDE sub-menu.

I nearly fell in the same hole last night. The documentation is a bit
out of date on that, it says to select the plugin.xml, fragment.xml or
feature.xml file, no mention of the manifest.mf file.
I will file a doc bug on this.

Ah! That explains why I thought I'd just been working too late at
night... I did read the docs, which I guess is why I thought it wasn't
there.
