[orbit-dev] Problem with picking up orbit bundles with PDE build

[Hubert H Leung <hkyleung@xxxxxxxxxx>]

TPTP has recently changed the build
to pick orbit bundles with PDE build.  I am using PDE in the I20070306-1200
eclipse build.  However, I find that PDE does not include the orbit
bundles in the feature zip files.  I opened bug 177216 (https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=177216)
to track this problem.  I wonder if any project using Orbit has seen
this problem, or can help me solve this problem.    Thanks in
advance. 


Here is the bug description: 

I am changing the TPTP build to package
Orbit bundles.  In the map file, I have
the following entries:

plugin@org.apache.xerces=GET,http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/S200702082257/bundles/org.apache.xerces_2.8.0.v200702082200.jar
plugin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx.resolver=GET,http://download.eclipse.org/tools/orbit/downloads/drops/S200702082257/bundles/org.apache.xml.resolver_1.1.0.v200702082200.jar

During the build, these two jar files
are downloaded into the plugins directory
of the workspace.  So, the map
file seems to be working.  

The feature.xml of the feature that
contains the xerces bundles have the
versions of the Orbit bundles expanded
and contains the unpack="false"
attribute.  The feature.xml looks
good: 

   <plugin
         id="org.apache.xerces"
         download-size="0"
         install-size="0"
         version="2.8.0.v200702082200"
         unpack="false"/>

   <plugin
         id="org.apache.xml.resolver"
         download-size="0"
         install-size="0"
         version="1.1.0.v200702082200"
         unpack="false"/>

However, the 2 orbit bundles are not
packaged in the zip file of the feature
that contains the two bundles.  That
is, the resulting zip file from the build
has a feature that contains dangling
pointers to the 2 orbit bundles, because
they are not packaged.  

This sounds like a bug in PDE.  But
please let me know if I missed any
configurations for picking up Orbit
bundles.  Thanks.
