Hallo,
I am creating an Authoring Tool based on RCP. The Authoring Tool has two Extension-Points. One Extension Point is for SimpleComponents and one for AggregateComponents. SimpleComponents are Features created with the Eclipse IDE. Via p2 I can export the SimpleComponents and use them in my RCP-App. That works fine.
Now I use the Authoring Tool to combine the SimpleComponents to AggregateComponents. In the background, these AggregateComponents should be realised as Plugins, combined to Features with the used SimpleComponents. So I am looking for a way to create Plugins and Features programmatically or via Ant-Tasks. And I want to export the created Features programmatically or via Ant-Tasks, so that the AggregateComponents can be used by other instances of the AuthoringTool.
I tried to integrate the pde-functionalities of the Eclipse-IDE in my RCP-App, but it became to big. AggregateComponents do not contain any source code. They only contain serialized EMF-EObjects, so I have no need for build-functionalities. In fact I only need the MANIFEST.MF and the feature.xml to be created. Do I have to do this on my own or are there prepared solutions for that use case.
best regards, Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
You are on you own. However, I would like to see this code on github
sometime. ;)

Wim
