I am using a target file (made using the Eclipse IDE) to do my Buckminster build.
At the moment, the file looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<?pde version="3.5"?>
<target name="Eclipse RCP">
<locations>
<location includeAllPlatforms="true" includeMode="slicer" type="InstallableUnit">
<unit id="org.eclipse.equinox.executable.feature.group" version="3.3.200.R35x_v20090724-7M-FneFF9aMTyz0pw04ONXn"/>
<unit id="org.eclipse.rcp.sdk.id" version="3.5.1.M20090917-0800"/>
<repository location="http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo"/>
</location>
<location path="c:/mytarget" type="Directory"/>
</locations>
</target>
I want to vary the location of the target, because I have a Windows and a Linux build process. So I want to use a variable like ${WORKSPACE} in there.
Is there a way to use variables here? Or I am missing the point of something here? I am open to other suggestions on how I should be producing target platforms etc.
I would also like to know why the tutorial at http://www.ralfebert.de/blog/eclipsercp/rcp_builds/ doesn't use a directory location...
Thanks heaps!
Greg

Hi Geejay,
The .target file is parsed by PDE so you must use the PDE property, i.e. ${workspace_loc}.

Thanks Thomas.
Now I seem to be getting a
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Path must include project and resource name: /rcp.target
This is in my Linux environment.
The strange thing is, it works fine on Windows
Here is rcp.target:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
<?pde version="3.5"?>
<target name="Eclipse RCP">
<locations>
<location includeAllPlatforms="true" includeMode="slicer" type="InstallableUnit">
<unit id="org.eclipse.equinox.executable.feature.group" version="3.3.200.R35x_v20090724-7M-FneFF9aMTyz0pw04ONXn"/>
<unit id="org.eclipse.rcp.sdk.id" version="3.5.1.M20090917-0800"/>
<repository location="http://download.eclipse.org/releases/galileo"/>
</location>
<location path="${workspace_loc}/mytarget" type="Directory"/>
</locations>
</target>
Any ideas?
EDIT: I got around this by departing from the target definiton file thing all together. Now, I build my targets "on the fly" as recommended by the tutorial here.
Hudson can actually pick up the (archived) target in a seperate build.

OK, so PDE requires that the target is a resource. Try creating a "mytarget" as a project and then use:
${workspace_loc:mytarget}
