| [tycho-user] Adding a directory |
|
I have an e4 JavaFX FXML rich client platform
(RCP)
application that is being built by Tycho. I have a requirement that a
"dropins"
directory get created. I also want to populate that "dropins"
directory
with OSGi bundles/features. The bundles/features that will be
put into the "dropins"
directory will depend on which edition of my software of the end
customer
purchases. Upon first start up my application will take a look
at the "dropins"
directory and load the bundles/features using p2. The reason the bundles are
not just included
is because other bundles/features will be added and downloaded
later, on demand,
by the end user. Another
way to look at
this is that the end user is responsible for adding or removing
bundles from
the "dropins" directories as needed.
This is what I get now.... x86_64 ___features ______ (more stuff here) ___p2 ______ (more stuff here) ___workspace ______ (more stuff here) ___configuration ______ (more stuff here) ___plugins ______ (more stuff here) ___artifacts.xml ___eclipsec.exe ___MyApp-0.1.exe ___MyApp-0.1.ini
This is what a want... x86_64 ___features ______ (more stuff here) ___p2 ______ (more stuff here) ___workspace ______ (more stuff here) ___configuration ______ (more stuff here) ___plugins ______ (more stuff here) ___dropins ______My_bundle01 ______My_bundle02 ______My_bundle03 ___artifacts.xml ___eclipsec.exe ___MyApp-0.1.exe ___MyApp-0.1.ini
My question is this, isn't technically possible to meet this requirement, in the build process, and if so how to do it. |
