Building ready-to-use RCP product with org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder [message #446353]

Hi,

I'm following an article at
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-PDE-Automation/autom ation.html
as well as a document at
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/*checkout*/org.ecli pse.releng.basebuilder/readme.html?rev=HEAD&content-type =text/html
trying to setup an automated headless build for my RCP application.
Most of the steps are already working, but I have problems configuring
packaging step.

Although the documents don't describe product branding, it seems to be
supported with a "product" property, which I had properly set in my
build.properties. Unfortunately, during packaging I get
java.io.EOFException from eclipse.brand task located in generated
assemble.<my.feature>.win32.win32.x86.xml script. This seems to be
caused by the fact that eclipse.exe is not copied to the target
directory (set in root attribute of the task) before the task is executed.

I guess I could just copy it there in one of the customTargets.xml
targets, but I believe there's already some infrastructure for that in
the org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder itself.
In particular packaging.properties files that I found in
org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder project seem to leverage that
infrastructure. Unfortunately I couldn't find any documentation about
how to setup it in existing customTargets.xml.

Can anyone please tell me how to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Michal

Hi Michal

Currently I'm setting up an automatic build of our RCP application and
I've experienced the same problem you described in the different news groups
back in March 06. Unfortunately nobody replied to them as far as I know. Did
you solve the problem?

Can you help me? Where do I have to put the DeltaPacks? The build platform
is OS X and the target platforms are OS X and Win32

Thanks in advance

Stephan

Looks like BrandingIron is creating an empty eclipse.exe and then later,
when it attempts to read the existing icons in the file, throws the
EOFException. I might be able to get around this by copying the executable
before the build...

Has anybody else seen this issue. Looks like a bug, but I might be doing
something wrong in my PDE Build setup...

Thanks!

You should put the delta pack in the ${baseLocation} with the rest of
your target eclipse.

This exception does come from when the eclipse.exe does not exist when
the branding is called.

Setting the product property by itself is not sufficient to get the
eclipse.exe. You need to have the org.eclipse.platform.launchers
feature included in your main feature. This platform.launchers feature
contains the eclipse.exe as a root file. (Or if you don't include the
launcher feature, you need a similar feature which has the eclipse.exe
as a rootfile.)

org.eclipse.platform.launchers to my top-level "dummy" product feature, and
everything began to work...

Thanks Andrew! Thanks also to Stephan L
