[tycho-user] Generate bundle.properties file during build

[Andreas Pakulat <andreas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I'm trying to replace a placeholder in the bundle.properties of a plugin 
during the prepare-package phase. I've setup a profile that is activated 
based on the existence of the 'template' file similarly to how EPP generates 
an about.mappings file in the final plugin to contain the Eclipse version and 
build id.

I can see the generated bundle.properties in the target directory, but the 
final plugin always gets the original source file with the placeholders and 
I'm failing to see the difference between the logics for about.mappings and 
for bundle.properties. Anybody can give me a hint?

This is the profile for about.mappings copied from org.eclipse.epp.packages:

<profile>
      <id>update-branding-plugins-about.mappings</id>
      <activation>
        <file>
          <exists>${basedir}/about.mappings</exists>
        </file>
      </activation>
      <build>
        <plugins>
          <plugin>
            <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
            <artifactId>maven-resources-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>2.6</version>

                  <resources>
                    <resource>
                      <directory>${basedir}</directory>
                      <includes>
                        <include>about.mappings</include>
                      </includes>
                      <filtering>true</filtering>
                    </resource>
                  </resources>
                </configuration>
                <goals>
                  <goal>copy-resources</goal>
                </goals>
              </execution>
            </executions>
          </plugin>
          <plugin>
            <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
            <artifactId>tycho-packaging-plugin</artifactId>
            <version>${tycho-version}</version>
            <configuration>
              <additionalFileSets>
                <fileSet>
                  <directory>${project.build.directory}</directory>
                  <includes>
                    <include>about.mappings</include>
                  </includes>
                </fileSet>
              </additionalFileSets>
            </configuration>
          </plugin>
        </plugins>
      </build>
    </profile>

Based on that I added (to the same pom.xml):
