Re: [tycho-user] How do you get %aboutText to be used by the RCP about s

[Greg Amerson <gregory.amerson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Your branding plugin doesn't have to use %aboutText in the plugin.xml.  The Eclipse RCP about dialog should read it from the branding plugin assuming it has been properly included in the build.  So a couple of things to make sure of:

- about.ini is getting included in your plugin (included in build.properties)

- the text in about.ini is getting correctly processed by your build process as described in http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/tycho-user/msg01120.html

Hi Tycho list

I followed this process to update the version in my about.ini file

http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/tycho-user/msg01120.html

And my RCP product which is defined by a feature has the branding plugin specified.  My branding plugin uses %aboutText in the plugin.xml to describe the about text.  The problem I have is that when I do a build with Maven & Tycho, that %aboutText is not substituted with the contents of about.ini

What am I missing?

Thanks much
