Hi,

to workaround https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=278909 I wanted
to replace the org.eclipse.pde.build plugin in my buckminster installation
with a self-built one that has the fix included. Unfortunately after
building the plugin and exporting it from Eclipse its not used by
buckminster. I've copied the contents of the generated jar-file into the
corresponding folder in the buckminster/plugins directory, but the code is
apparently not executed (I've added some code to the function which should
generate a file in /tmp/, but that doesn't happen).

So I guess I'm missing something here?

Andreas

Hi Andreas,

If you create a p2 site that contains your patched bundle, you can simply
use the director to install that single bundle into Buckminster. No feature
required. Just make sure your version number is higher than the one that is
already installed.

Cheers,
Achim

Hi Achim,

Hmm, how would I do that? It doesn't seem to be possible to build a p2 site
with Buckminster from a single plugin. I've meanwhile tried with an extra
feature and updatesite and installing that into Buckminster but it doesn't
seem like this worked (even though there were no errors and the pde-build
plugin in my buckminster seems to be the self-built version).

Hmm, that's strange. I did the same thing with a patched version of JDT, and
it worked nicely. You may want to peek into the bundles.info file in the
configuration/org.eclipse.equinox.simpleconfigurator/ directory of your
Buckminster installation. There you can see which version of the bundle is
known to p2. I assume the version number of your self-built bundle is higher
than the original one, right?

The file does have the updated version listed. I didn't increase the version
itself before as the qualifier that was set was definetly higher. But I
tried replacing the .0 with .1 and I can see that the .1 should be picked,
nonetheless its almost as if my added code is not being executed.

I'll run buckminster with remote-debugger enabled now to see wether the code
is actually getting into that function.

Seems like thats not working either, the remote-debugging never stops at the
breakpoints I set in eclipse. But that eclipse just forgot about all its
target platforms, so maybe there's just something broken. For now I'll have
to defer building MacOSX packages of our RCP app to another buildsystem.
