Hi

I have another doubt (related to the buckminster functionalities created
by the xtext wizard): if I materialize the projects-platform.cquery in
eclipse I then get the .buckminster project with the tp. (I'm doing
this to try to simulate in local the situation of the Jenkins headless
build).

However, the generated target platform contains some additional plugins
but still rely on my eclipse installation, thus I don't have a real
target platform separated from my eclipse installation, and I can't test
locally the same situation of an headless build...

is this the intended behavior?

is there something I could do to have the same situation of the headless
build with a target platform in the workspace which does not rely on my
eclipse local installation?

thanks in advance
Lorenzo

Yes, this is expected. The default target platform is a copy of the default one (which has the runtime as the one and
only container). Buckminster adds a directory container to the copy and then uses that for additional stuff.

Yes. You can for instance do:

addtargetplatform -A -N tp <directory>

This will add a target platform by the name of 'tp' that appoints <directory> and set it to the currently active one.
Use an empty directory and do this before the import to get everything materialized into the directory.

Hi Thomas

I'm not sure I understand where I should run that command... from within
eclipse or from the command line (sorry for the probably newbie question :)

in the meantime by adding an advisor node like

<cq:advisorNode namePattern=".*" useTargetPlatform="false"/>

I manage to have in the materialized target platform all the features
and plugins specified in the .cquery... still the target platform (as
shown from the eclipse preferences dialog) still contains the current
eclipse installation... I can manually remove the eclipse installation
from the eclipse dialog to have the complete yet (hopefully) minimal
target platform...

thanks in advance
Lorenzo

From the command line. To do the same thin in the Eclipse IDE you will need to use the "Preferences" -> "Plug-in
Development" -> "Target Platform" preference page to set up a new target platform.

OK, I see! Now in the empty directory I get all the plugins for the
target platform (though I don't get the features... but the projects
compile fine).

why is this wrong?

The useTargetPlatform attribute prevents the resolver from using the target platform as source during resolve. I.e. it
will not try and find the needed components there. This is sometimes useful when you want to force Bucky to resolve from
an external source (to find updates) rather than be happy with what it finds in the TP. The TP will still receive binary
components during materialization.

Hi Thomas

from the book I understood:

useTargetPlatform
"Target Platform
Should components found in the target
platform be used."

if false then it won't use the current target platform to find
components, but once the tp is materialized it won't search for updates
in the subsequent materializations

useMaterialization
"Materialization
Should Buckminster materializations
be used (i.e. things previously downloaded)."

skip earlier materializations in preference of contacting repositories
again, "to find updates"

while you say that also using useTargetPlatform="false" it will always
search for updates?

cheers
Lorenzo

That's correct.

That applies to materialization that do not end up in your target platform or as projects in your workspace. I.e.
materializations that are not plug-ins but other types of artifacts that you might be using (maven jars for instance).

I say that useTargetPlatform="false" means don't scan target platform during resolve. When useTargetPlatform="true"
(which is the default) then the resolver will consider a match found there as the one to use. I.e. Once a match is found
in the TP, it will not continue the search using locations found in the rmap so even if more recent plug-ins has been
published they will not be found as long as the target platform contains an older version that fulfills the
requirements. Setting it to false forces the rmap locations to be searched.

and wouldn't that be good? Or by "This doesn't look right" you meant
that useTargetPlatform="false" did not get me what I needed?

Yes. Your problem was that you wanted to control over the TP and separate it from your runtime. This option doesn't help
you do that.

Hi! I have tried specifying an empty target platform called "tp" in the Eclipse GUI and setting it as active before running a materialization, but Buckminster still creates a new target platform that includes my local Eclipse installation and does not download the Eclipse target installation that I have specified in the rmap.

It seems to work from the command line or if I use an mspec, but is that really necessary to make Buckminster ignore my local Eclipse installation?

sorry for the question, but did you also add an empty directory to the
new empty target platform?

see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Extending_or_Contributing_to_Buckminster

and also the screenshots here
http://www.lorenzobettini.it/2012/11/materializing-and-provisioning-your-target-platform-as-local-p2-site-with-buckminster/

hope this helps

Thanks! No, I did not add an empty directory to the target. That solves it!
