EPP has its own newsgroup, which I've copied on this response.
You might want to re-state your goal since it is not quoted in the
latest message below.

By the way, check out this blog entry about an online package builder:

I've found an earlier thread "Custom distros for private use?" that is
trying to do what I want. One problem is resolved:

>> Building configured application...
>> Configuration files taken from <path>packagerConfiguration.
>> The application will be built in <path>.
>>
>> Then it stops; no Packing installation site, Building, or Moving Files.

It turns out a space in my workspace path made for an invalide URI. I
just moved the workspace--is there a "better" way?

Now I get into "Building" when it dies:

Anyone know where I should start..

Wow--it works. Thanks to all who helped. (And raspberries to whomever at
Microsoft chose \ for a path separator!)

How did you get it to build the package (in the Ant-step)?
I get as far as Packager building my custom ZIP, but on the final step,
where the Ant script is invoked, it fails:

Packing installation site....Done.
Building...Could not build package.:
org.apache.tools.ant.Project.setProjectReference(Ljava/lang/ Object;)V:org.apache.tools.ant.Project.setProjectReference(L java/lang/Object;)V

I am using Eclipse 3.4 EE package, also tried with a clean 3.4.1 RCP
install, same issue. Using Ant 1.7. I would be grateful for any help.
