Hi,
I'm going to do a headless feature build and the first thing,
which bite me was the fact that my feature id was different
from it's directory name. I know, that I have to specify the
feature id in the allElements.xml, but where do I specify
the proper path location, such that the headless build can
find it? Please let me add, that I need to support Eclipse
3.3.2, so I cannot rely on PDE-build extensions of Eclipse
3.4*.
Thanks for your input,
Daniel Krügler

Try using something like the following in your allElements.xml
<target name="allElementsDelegator">
<ant antfile="${genericTargets}" target="${target}">
<property name="type" value="feature" />
<property name="id" value="org.foo.feature.id" />
<property name="elementPath" value="C:/real/path/to/feature" />
</ant>
</target>
This delegator calls the genericTargets.xml script in pde.build. If you
look there, you can see that the targets all use ${elementPath}, which
is set by default in the genericTargets.xml/init target. Specifying it
in the ant call should use your value instead of that default value.

Thanks Andrew for your ongoing interest - your help is
really acknowledged!
My personal suggestion would be that the Eclipse help should mention
the meaning of the property "elementPath" for feature builds, similar
to that of "id" and "type".
Thanks again,
Daniel
