We have around 20 separate (but similar) products that we build. We use a "create.product" script (from http://www.ralfebert.de/blog/eclipsercp/rcp_builds/).

Rather than put the same product.ant script in 20 different site projects, I just put it in one separate "builder" project. Then all 20 CSPEX point to it: the actors all say

<property key="buildFile" value="${workspace.root}/builder/buckminster_actions/product.ant" />

Unfortunately, this assumes a certain workspace layout, and is too rigid. I attempted to replace ${workspace.root}/builder with ${project_loc:/builder}, but it simply does not get resolved. https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=329628 suggests that it should work, but it doesn't.

Is there a way I can get the path to the other project (knowing just the project name)? The project is a component of type "buckminster". Something using buckminster.component?

Or am I trying to be too clever, and should I just put a copy of product.ant in each cspex?

Incidentally, is there any plan to have create.product a standard Buckminster action that works "out of the box"? This seems to be a common requirement, but everyone needs to add it themselves.

Thanks
Matthew

Just to clarify: this is nothing to do with materialization. At this point, the workspace is fully populated, and I am attempting a Buckminster action. This is Eclipse 3.6.2.

IIRC it is possible to contribute ant actions to the environment via
extension points. I think this is briefly discussed in the documentation
- esp. how to access such actions. From there it should be possible to
figure out how buckminster does this and do something similar.
