Automating the deployment process of plugin [message #896188]

Hi,

I have an eclipse plugin, when I deploy it, I use a feature project then export through the wizard to get zip file to install in any eclipse based app.

How can I automate this ?

I want the whole process to run automatically.

You automate building a feature/plugin using PDE build. http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.pde.doc.user%2Ftasks%2Fpde_feature_build.htm&cp=4_2_0_1

You can automate installing features into your current eclipse using the p2 director, http://help.eclipse.org/juno/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Fp2_director.html&cp=2_0_20_2

What org.eclipse.core.runtime do you have in the RCP app you are trying to install into?
