On Behalf Of Martin Hristov Hristov Hi Jan, Thanks for your quick reply. Unfortunately, we are developing for a third-party Eclipse-based platform which does not support P2 and thus we cannot utilize the P2 Update mechanism. The way that we handle deployments is by providing distribution
archives which overwrite the old versions. Do you know if there is a way to include these rootfiles the way that I described it using Tycho/Maven?

They will be extracted into installation root on product install. Regards, Jan From:

On Behalf Of Martin Hristov Hristov Hi all, I have a problem adding rootfiles to my distribution ZIP file and cannot seem to find a solution. I have an eclipse-feature and an eclipse-product. All rootfiles are defined in
the feature's build.properties file: root = rootfiles/ The rootfiles/ directory in the project contains the rootfiles themselves. When I build the eclipse-feature, I see that the following artifact is created in the target/ directory: my-feature_root-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-root.zip This ZIP file contains the correct root files. When I build the eclipse-repository project, in the generated distribution archive file, instead of having my root files at the root level, I get my rootfiles in a binary/ subdirectory,
e.g.: my-repository-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.zip\binary\my-feature_root-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT This file is an archive file itself. I am really confused as I would expected to get the rootfiles at the root of the distribution ZIP file as I do when I do a manual export within
Eclipse. Can you please guide me on how to resolve this issue? Regards,
