Hi,

We are creating an RCP-Application and looking at ways to automate the
build process. Currently I am playing around with Eclipse RC3, looked at
tutorials like "Automating Eclipse Based Products Builds with PDE Build"
and got to a point where I can build my product using the pde build
script files.

But that only builds my own plug-in and does not export the whole thing
as an application with all the branding and things I specify in a
..product file like when I do a File->Export->Eclipse product. I looked
at some pde source code and got the impression that there are a lot of
things happening during such an export that can not easily be done using
ant scripts.

So I was wondering if the "File->Export->Eclipse product" functionality
is accessible in an ant script.

Thanks,
Tom

Isn't there an option to generate an Ant script in the first wizard page?

No, only if you export as plugin it is possible to save the generated
ant file. In case you export everything as an eclipse product you don't
have this option.

I hadn't noticed. Pity. That would be a good feature request. The export
build for a multi-platform product takes forever. (That, in fact, is why
I didn't just look at the dialog before I replied.)

The Ant script feature in the plugin/feature export wizard is good and
useful, but it's neither synchronous nor headless.

After all I heard in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=58413
I did not want to invest in a similar function for the product export.
