| Re: [pde-dev] how to generate container feature in pde build |
There is probably a bug in the fetch, it really should just use the feature if it already exists in the buildDirectory.
You could name the generated feature "org.eclipse.pde.build.container.feature", that name is handled specially by the fetch and it won't try to fetch it.

[pde-dev] how to generate container feature in pde build

hi,
I remember this was discussed already, but can't google it so please help! :-)
I want to build two features in one pdebuild run.
Until now I was solving this by defining many calls in allElements target:
<target name="allElements">
<ant antfile="${genericTargets}" target="${target}">
<property name="type" value="${topLevelElementType1}" />
<property name="id" value="${topLevelElementId1}" />
</ant>
<ant antfile="${genericTargets}" target="${target}">
<property name="type" value="${topLevelElementType2}" />
<property name="id" value="${topLevelElementId2}" />
</ant>
</target>
unfortunately, now I discovered the downside of this approach is that when using p2.gathering=true, the generated metadata contains only the last element :-(
The other way that I read of somewhere, was to generate container feature during the build. I tried
<target name="preSetup">
...
<eclipse.generateFeature featureId="tarara.container.feature" buildDirectory="${buildDirectory}" featuresList="topLevelElement1,topLevelElement2" />
I can see that feature is generated correctly. But later, during the fetch, pde build is failing to fetch top level feature:
fetchElement:
[mkdir] Created dir: /disk2/hudson/jobs/org.mozilla.xulrunner.7_3/workspace/build/plugins
[eclipse.fetch] Missing directory entry: feature@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.feature.
[eclipse.fetch] feature@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.feature has not be fetched.
R36_RC4/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build_3.6.0.v20100603/scripts/genericTargets.xml:59: The following error occurred while executing this line:
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /disk2/hudson/jobs/job/workspace/build/fetch_tararara.container.all.feature.xml (No such file or directory)
So feature is already there, and there's no need to fetch it. Altough topLevelElement1 and topLevelElement2 need to be fetched.
So what else I need to do? Use eclipse.fetch?
At last I can create container feature in CVS but this is lame :-)
thanks
Jacek
