update site project does not update artifacts after second build [message #674554]

Hi,

for some reason a second "build all" does something but doesn't change the contents of the binary, features and plugins folder
inside an update site plug-in.
Also the artifacts.jar and the content.jar are not updated.

As a workaround I found that I can use the files from
<workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.pde.core\tempp2metadata

Is there a way to make the build process also update the artifacts?

Thanks,
Henrik

PS: my update site project is
http://git.eclipse.org/c/etrice/org.eclipse.etrice.git/tree/releng/org.eclipse.etrice.update-site

Is the second Build All generating new qualifiers? I know in p2 that a mirror will skip artifacts that have the same version (even if they have different contents).

no, the second build is not generating new qualifiers.

But it's all local as part of the update site project in my workspace.
I assumed the jars should just be replaced by the new ones regardless of the version number...

Behind the scenes Ant scripts seem to be generated, executed and removed again, all by magic.
Nothing where I could check which assumptions are not fulfilled.
So, it's no question of p2 and mirrors but just one of the build process.

Am I wrong?

If the PDE build is creating a p2 repository as part of its work it would use the p2 APIs and be subject to the p2 restriction (if the version is the same, the plugin is the same).

You could test by adding qualifiers to your plugins and features, and making sure they change on your second export.

There also might be a way to keep those scripts around (PDE UI Export generates some PDE Build scripts to do the work). Maybe Save As Ant Script on the Options tab of the export?
