Hello,
I have a PDE headless build for my product (plugins-based), which works well.
Now I need to add a couple of files to my product, and I (try to) follow guidelines from this article : http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse .pde.doc.user/tasks/pde_rootfiles.htm, ie.create a feature that contributes rootfiles, but does not specify a bin.includes property, and use the featureList property to select this feature.
So:
- I created a feature for root files only (its build.properties only contains root=rootfiles, with the rootfiles folder containing the two extra-files I need)
- the headless build works fine, without error
- at the end, I see that ${buildDirectory}/repository/binary contains a binary file that corresponds to the feature I created for root files. If I open this binary files in an hex editor I can see, among other things, the names of the root files I want to add.
But finally, the produced zip doesn't contain the root files. At its root I only see (just like before trying to add root files) the exe launcher, the ini file, and artifact.xml
Any hint?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Yves

I did come across with the same issue.
It worked well with previous Eclipse versions (Ganymede, Galileo), but now
I use the new productBuild.xml ant template (which is pretty different
from its predecessors), and the root files are not copied in outcome
product archive.
The configuration is:
[1] productBuild.xml
<target name="main" description="the main build target">
<antcall target="preBuild" />
<antcall target="processRepos" />
<antcall target="generateFeature">
<!-- Generate the feature to drive the fetch -->
<param name="verify" value="false" />
</antcall>
<antcall target="fetch" />
<antcall target="generateFeature">
<!-- We are calling generate feature a second time so that we can get
the pack / unpack clause fixed -->
<param name="verify" value="true" />
</antcall>
<antcall target="generate" />
<antcall target="process" />
<antcall target="assemble" />
<antcall target="package" />
<antcall target="postBuild" />
</target>
<!--
============================================================ ========= -->
<!-- Generate a container feature based on the product
file -->
<!-- The plugin or feature containing the .product file will need to
exist -->
<!-- already, use preSetup or postSetup to fetch it if
necessary -->
<!--
============================================================ ========= -->
<target name="generateFeature">
<eclipse.generateFeature
featureId="org.eclipse.pde.build.container.feature"
buildDirectory="${buildDirectory}" baseLocation="${baseLocation}"
productFile="${product}" verify="${verify}"
pluginPath="${transformedRepoLocation}${path.separator}${pluginPath} "
configInfo="${configs}" pluginList="${pluginList}"
featureList="${featureList}" includeLaunchers="${includeLaunchers}"
buildPropertiesFile="${generatedBuildProperties}"
nestedInclusions="${nestedInclusions}" filterP2Base="${filterP2Base}" />
</target>
[2] Feature's build.properties:
bin.includes = feature.xml,\
root=rootfiles
[3] Feature layout
build.properties
feature.xml
rootfiles
- license.html
Is there an additional setting which enable the root files support in
build.properties, or did I miss smth?
Regards
Jtonic

I did manage to configure the product generation related files [1] so as
the root files went in outcome archives.
Reading carefully here [1], I've noticed there are 2 ways to include Root
Files in a product build.
The last worked for me.
Quote
>>>>
${buildDirectory}/build.properties: generatedBuildProperties =
${buildDirectory}/root.properties
${buildDirectory/root.properties: root =
absolute:${buildDirectory}/rootfiles
${buildDirectory}/rootfiles/*
<<<
Also, I did a mistake in my previous post when I've said the
productBuild.xml ANT template was changed significantly in Helios
(${eclipse_home}\plugins\org.eclipse.pde.build**\scripts\pro ductBuild\productBuild.xml)
..
In fact my older productBuild.xml build script was a custom one.
The changes in Helios include:
nestedInclusions="${nestedInclusions}"
filterP2Base="${filterP2Base}"
[1] productBuild.xml, build.properties & root.properties
[2]
