Features not installed during product install [message #68353]

I'm pde building a product based on a feature.

Only plugins are getting installed during the p2.director install phase of
the build.

I can see the features get generated to the p2 repo and if I inspect
content.xml I can see my product requires the feature's feature.group which
in turns requires the feature.jar, etc.

However, as I say, during the p2.director install phase of the build, where
I install the product to get final the product image, my feature is
missing. It's bundles are there but no feature.

Am I missing some setting?

Cheers
_Paul

org.eclipse.install.features=true

Thanks

For completeness, in 3.4 when building with "generate.p2.metadata=true",
you need to do the director call yourself. as Paul is doing.

In 3.5 when building with the new "p2.gathering=true", PDE/Build will do
the director call automatically for you.

In this case, there is a property "p2.director.extraArgs", and the
default value is
p2.director.extraArgs=-profileProperties \
org.eclipse.update.install.features=true
