[cross-project-issues-dev] About File Extractor

Hi all,

since most of the Ganymede Projects have a member on the Orbit Project,

you might know this already, but I thought I'd still make sure you get the

message in any case:

In order to easily compile an archive of the about.html files in a project

(which is due to send in to EMO Legal by Thursday May 15 COB),

Jeff McAffer wrote a little tool that is checked in to the Orbit Repository.

Get it from

Root = :pserver:dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/tools

Module = org.eclipse.orbit/org.eclipse.orbit.releng.aboutextractor

It's a simple Main.java program that you can Right-click > Run As

> Java Application. Feed it a commandline that has a source directory

first, in which all your downloadable stuff is extracted; and a destination

directory second, where all the extracted about files will be placed.

For example:

java Main.class D:\tmp\rse_m7_complete\eclipse\plugins D:\tmp\rse_m7_abouts

Then, just zip up the abouts directory. For more details, see

Kudos to Jeff for writing the tool!

Cheers,
