SVN readerType, headless, No component found [message #954360] Tue, 23 October 2012 00:43 Go to next message

Hello Eclipse forum, I am quickly going to describe what I want to achieve:
I have an Eclipse product that I want to customize adding basically plugins. The developer usually has the target platform and just adds his/her plugin(s) in the plugin folder of this product after having implemented them and tested on his/her local environment. What I would like to do is to automate the building with Cruise Control and Buckminster (headless) on a separate machine and have there non-regression tests.

From "The definitive guide to Buckminster" I understood that I can have a release site which basically include the plugin(s) that I am developing in its feature.xml.

Now, I created a Releng feature which points to another feature (my product placeholder), which in turn points (through feature.xml) to the plugin(s).

This is the structure:

releng - feature.xml
product - feature.xml
plugin - plugin.xml

Note that the product doesn't actually contain a .product.

The plugin is contained in a SVN. I am trying to materialize the plugin in the workspace to see if I got the rmap/cquery right, but when I call either from the PDE or headless Buckminster, I get that dreaded "No component found".

My repo looks like this:
Fttps://svn.repo.com/MyProject/trunk/My_Project

If my rmap points directly to the last My_Project folder, Buckminster complains with "No component found", if I point to the trunk folder, Buckminster complains with "No cspec found". The version in the product feature is 0.0.0, while the plugin has its own version.

I really don't understand why the component is not found. Maybe because it's not a jar? The fact is that I don't have a jar yet, because it is what I want to dynamically build from the source... Confused

Do you guys have some advice, what can I try to change?

Thank you very much!! Rolling Eyes

Can you post your RMAP?

Sure, the plugin folder with the source code (and plugin.xml) is after {5}.

ok, so you are looking for components in source form that are bundles or
features. Buckminster will then look for the Eclipse metadata (META-INF,
feature.xml, plugin.xml, etc) - see the bucky book for the the details
per type. Buckminster also looks for a cspex in these cases (containing
additions/modifications to the discovered metadata).

A cspec is used by a buckminster type of component (i.e. when there is
no other metadata to get the component description from).

I wonder why you have source = false - isn't this source you want to build?

Damn!!!

Source is false, I haven't noticed that....

That is probably why it's not able to get it.
I will try again and tell you the result.
But I think this is the problem indeed.

It worked! I was able to read from the svn!

Reading remote file https://.../META-INF/MANIFEST.MF#HEAD
com.myplugin.ui:osgi.bundle: Found match 1.0.0.qualifier:#14
com.myplugin.ui:osgi.bundle: Using provider svn({0}://{1}:{2}@{3}/{4}/trunk/{5}[...])
Reading remote file https://.../plugin.xml#14
Reading remote file https://.../build.properties#14
Reading remote file https://.../.classpath#14

Now, if I am not wrong, if the plugin requires dependencies (read from the MANIFEST.MF) buckminster will look into the other places provided with the rmap, right?
The query specifies useTargetPlatform="false" because I don't want to use the current (buckminster) target platform, but take the copy of the custom target platform I
created using this website. Even if the final steps are a little bit blurry.

Sorry about all these questions but I am really new to Buckminster...
...and of course, thank you very much!

Yes.

Setting useTargetPlatform="true" will cause Buckminster to use the
currently active target platform. I think it would be better for you to
retain that setting and instead ensure that the target platform that
you've created is the one that is active. You can do this using the PDE
preferences in the IDE or from the command line with "buckminster
addtargetplatform"

Ok thanks!

The fact is that I want to be able to have different "version" of the target platform as well. That why I was thinking of keeping them in another repository.

The problem is that the target platform is usually bigger and I don't want to materialize all the plugins. Just the one that are needed by the plugin.

Do you think I can achieve this?
