Annotation generated files not included with site.p2 however they are included in bundle.jar [message #659616]

I have a medium sized PDE project, we use an annotation to generate text files in META-INF/services.

My problem is that the site.p2 action does not include these generated files.

The strange thing is that the bundle.jar action on the individual modules works correctly, i.e. the generated files in META-INF/services are included.

It's quite annoying because it's the last hurdle to having working integration builds for our Eclipse plugin.

I did a quick test where I added a META-INF/services directory to one of my bundles. I added a text file to that
directory and built my site using the site.p2 action. The text file is included in the bundle that I find in the built
repository.

That sounds rather odd given that the jars are not rebuilt from that point on.

I'm not sure how to help out here. It would help if you could provide a reproducible example to a bugzilla.

Hey thanks for getting back to me so quickly.

I'm fairly sure this only happens if the file is generated by a annotation during compilation.

I'll see if I can cobble together a small example I can put in a bug report.

Well I found half of my problems are because buckminster headless doesn't include the annotation processor part of jdt. Easily fixed.

Quote:

./buckminster install http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.6 org.eclipse.jdt

The other half was because jars.extra.classpath doesn't seem to work correctly in buckminster if you point it to a different module e.g.

Quote:

jars.extra.classpath = /some.other.module/annotationprocessor.jar

References to jars inside the current module do work however:

Quote:

jars.extra.classpath = annotationprocessor.jar

Anyway, this is probably my fault because the build property is deprecated and you're not supposed to use it in PDE plugins.

Sorry I completely failed to understand my problems well enough to explain them the first time.
