Problem exporting as Deployable Feature [message #31911]

Hi, I have a Feature Project that includes 6 Plug-ins Projects.
The testings work fine. The Plug-ins Projects build perfectly.
But when I try to export the Feature as a Deployable Feature, there are
tons of errors building (compiling) the Plug-in Projects. It complains
about all imports (for example, SWT classes). It is like the Java Build
Path is lost or something like that when build is fired from the Feature
export process.
BTW, if I export all plug-ins as Plug-in or Fragment it works fine.

This worked fine with Eclipse R3.2 and now it is failing with Eclipse
R3.4.1. Is there any change I am required to do in this new version?

The same problem happens creating a Site Project.

Thanks in advance,

Chemi.

Can you post your feature.xml?

Also, I assume you have nothing manually added to your build path, and
all dependencies are coming from Require-Bundle/Import-Package and your
Bundle-ClassPath is setup properly?

Cheers,

Hi Chris.
But I have continued with my investigation during the day and I have
found "the problem" which doesn't make any sense to me.
The problem appears when you have more than one item listed in ws, os,
arch or nl properties.

For example with this content it fails:

<plugin
id="es.org.chemi.games.sokoban"
os="linux,win32"
ws="gtk,motif,win32"
nl="en"
arch="x86"
download-size="0"
install-size="0"
version="3.2.1"
unpack="false"/>

but with this one it works:

<plugin
id="es.org.chemi.games.sokoban"
os="linux"
ws="gtk"
nl="en"
arch="x86"
download-size="0"
install-size="0"
version="3.2.1"
unpack="false"/>

Does it make sense to you? what is the relationship between those
properties and Java compilation problems?
I have seen the same behavior with 3.3.2, 3.4.1 and 3.5M3

Thanks in advance,

Chemi.

I am going to try to create a dummy test case from scratch.

PDE/Build doesn't support lists in the os/ws/arch entries.
I'm surprised this worked in 3.2

Hi Andrew. Thanks for your answer.
But let me ask something else, is there any technical reason for this? I
mean, I thought those four properties were just descriptive. For
example, if I have tested my plug-in in Win32 and Motif, I document
there this. Why a Plug-in can't document more than one Window System?
And why this could affect to the compilation?
Finally, why the Feature Editor let me select more than one value if it
is not supported?

Thanks again,

Chemi.

It is really just a feature that never got implemented.

The configs property in the build defines a list of os/ws/arch triplets.
This definitely can not take lists in a given triplet. This is
because the triplets end up being turned into properties set on an OSGi
state that we use to resolve everything and build the classpaths. A
platform specific bundle/fragment that does not match the triplets will
not resolve.

The os/ws/arch settings on the feature entries are used to decide
whether or not the bundle being included matches the set of configs
being built. If it does not match, then it does not get included. This
is more important when you include platforms that you are not building,
so we know we can safely ignore those bundles when they fail to resolve
in the state.

Your problem is likely that the list was never considered to match a
config being built and the bundle was not compiled. I think that
supporting lists would be a matter of improving the algorithm for
matching against the list of configs. Though there may be other things
that I haven't thought of.

Can you post your feature.xml?

Also, I assume you have nothing manually added to your build path, and
all dependencies are coming from Require-Bundle/Import-Package and your
Bundle-ClassPath is setup properly?
