Headless build without workspace [message #676737]

Hi,

I want to do headless build, but my requirement is to do without workspace because, i have created a batch file wherein my sources i.e. plugins, features, RCP and product.. Every thing will get copied from SVN to a folder.

I followed the de vogella's tutorial and took his product build.xml file.His way worked good till i have projects in the workspace and are build. But once I take out raw unbuild sources from CVS and give the location of my product in build.xml, export fails.

Can anybody guide me how my problem can be solved.

For a headless build use an empty (new) workspace. You can set this with the -data command line option. The headless build can fetch the sources from some SVN or CVS repository. They are fetched to the correct place for build, but not to the workspace.

Thanks for your guidance. means fby using ant scripts?? Rolling Eyes

Here is what i have done:>

I exported the plugins from SVN to a folder and i am trying to run my build script from command-line.

Here is my build script:

<project default="main">
<property file="build.properties"/>
<target name="main">
<property name="baseLocation" value="${eclipse.home}"/>

<property name="deltapack" value="${eclipse.home}/deltapack/eclipse"/>


<available property="haveDeltaPack" file="${deltapack}"/>
<fail unless="haveDeltaPack" message="The deltapack is required to build this product. Please edit buildProduct.xml or set the "deltapack" property." />

<property name="builder" value="${basedir}"/>
<property name="buildDirectory" value="${basedir}/buildDirectory"/>
<property name="pluginPath" value="${basedir}/..${path.separator}${deltapack}" />
<property name="buildTempFolder" value="${buildDirectory}" />

<ant antfile="${eclipse.pdebuild.scripts}/productBuild/productBuild.xml" />

<move todir="D:/current/Exports">
<fileset dir="${buildDirectory}/${buildLabel}" includes="*.zip"/>
</move>

</target>
</project>

Command line is:
java -jar D:\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v20090715.jar -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner -buildfile buildProduct.xml

But it fails by putting this error:

BUILD FAILED
C:\Users\charus\Desktop\NightlyBuild\nightlyBuild.script\buildProduct.xml:17: The following error occurred while executing this line:
D:\Softwares\eclipseSVN\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.pde.build_3.5.2.R35x_20100114\scripts\productBuild\productBuild.xml:36: The following error occurred while executing this line:
D:\Softwares\eclipseSVN\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.pde.build_3.5.2.R35x_20100114\scripts\productBuild\productBuild.xml:64: Unable to find feature "com.cdt.debug.ioview.feature" with version in range [3.3.0.005,3.3.0.005].

Wat is going wrong in my script, i cant understand, it works fine till all my plugins and my product is in workspace and are built.

The property "baseLocation" should contain the Eclipse to compile against. This has to contain all required features and bundles.
The property eclipse.home usually is the Eclipse, which runs the build.

You have
D:\Softwares\eclipseSVN\eclipse
and
D:\eclipse

Which one contains the required features?
