PDE-Build against a target platform [message #44090]

I'm using a target platform of our rcp-application to build (in headless
mode) features/plugins.

The property i use is 'baseLocation'. This works perfectly. Except if a
plugin i will build is already in the targetplatform. In that case the
pde-build ignores this new plugin.

So how can i achieve that pde builds a plugin also if it's already in the
target platform.

thanks for your answer,
Matthias

PDE/Build will take whichever version of your plugin is resolved by the
OSGi state. Generally speaking, this is the one with the higher version.

This after build has replaced the .qualifier with something
