Re: [tycho-user] Adding a default workspace via rootfiles

[<Robert.Hilbrich@xxxxxx>]

Dear Simon,

thank you for your pointer. The description of the pluginParameter sounds promising. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get it to work. But I am still a tycho-newbie.

The feature containing the default workspace (including .metadata) is called: „ch.hilbri.assist.features.defaults“. I tried to add the config parameter, so that pom.xml of this feature now contains:

———————————————————————————

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">

<artifactId>ch.hilbri.assist.features.defaults</artifactId>

<packaging>eclipse-feature</packaging>

<groupId>assist</groupId>

<artifactId>ch.hilbri.assist.releng</artifactId>

<version>2.0.0-SNAPSHOT</version>

<relativePath>../ch.hilbri.assist.releng</relativePath>

</parent>

<build>

<plugins>

<plugin>

<groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>

<artifactId>tycho-packaging-plugin</artifactId>

<version>0.23.1</version>

<configuration>

<useDefaultExcludes>false</useDefaultExcludes>

</configuration>

</plugin>

</plugins>

</build>

</project>

Unfortunately, this does not change anything. The .metadata folder is still excluded … What did I miss?

Thank you for efforts and best regards,

Robert

Hi Robert,

I've come across this some time ago. I believe you will need to set the tycho packaging plugin parameter "useDefaultExcludes" [1] to false in the pom file for your feature. There are a bunch of files and folders excluded by default - including .metadata - see [2]. You may need to replicate some of the default exclude patterns in your pom depending on your SCM.

HTH,

Dear all,

 

I would like to populate my RCP product with a „default workspace“, containing a default project.

 

I tried to achieve this by creating a dedicated feature and a rootfiles-folder which is configured in the build.properties file. The rootfiles-folder contains the workspace-folder which comprises of a default project and some settings (in a .metadata folder). See screenshot:

 

 

Building the product works fine, and the resulting “ch.hilbri.assist.features.defaults_root-2.0.0.201508270922-root.zip” file contains the workspace and the “ExampleProject”. Unfortunately, the “.metadata” folder has NOT been copied.

 

I tried to check the documentation for rootfiles, but there seems to be no options like “include dot-files or dot-folders”.

 

Are there any other options to copy the “workspace folder” (including .metadata) to the target?

 

Best regards,

 

Robert
