I am trying to structure an efficient headless build for our components which includes generating RCP packages and the pieces are not fitting together yet.
I am successfully building all the component jar files in one step using the feature builder (${eclipse.pdebuild.scripts}/build.xml). Next, I want to build the RCP package using the already created jar files. I *think* using the packager
(${eclipse.pdebuild.scripts}/package.xml). It fails in package.xml:generateAssembleScripts:
...org.eclipse.pde.build_3.3.0.v20070612\scripts\package.xml :46: Unable to find feature: foo.rcp_feature.
My main RCP feature was created here:
${vceBuildDir}/I.vce/foo.rcp_feature-vce.zip
I'm invoking package.xml this way:
<ant antfile="package.xml" dir="${eclipse.pdebuild.scripts}">
<property name="vceBuildDir" value="${vceBuildDir}" />
<property name="assemblyTempDir" value="${vceBuildDir}/jartmp" />
<property name="featurePaths" location="${vceBuildDir}/I.vce"/>
<property name="packagingInfo" location="${basedir}/configs/all-features-prod/packager" />
</ant>
My packager.properties file includes:
product = ${packagingInfo}/vce.product
baseDirectory = ${vceBuildDir}
filteredDependencyCheck=false
featureList = foo.rcp_feature
config=win32, win32, x86
normalizeWhilePackaging=true
prefilledTarget = true
componentFilter=*
workingDirectory = ${baseDirectory}/workingPlace
buildDirectory = ${workingDirectory}
downloadDirectory = ${baseDirectory}/toPackage
tempDirectory = ${baseDirectory}/temp
sourceFolder = ${downloadDirectory}
target = ${tempDirectory}/eclipse
buildId=vce
buildType=I
buildLabel=${buildType}.${buildId}
archivesFormat=win32, win32, x86 - antZip
archivePrefix=eclipse
collectingFolder=eclipse
packagingProperties = packaging.properties
Any pointers would be most welcome!
Thanks,
Mike Gering

The script generator (the call to eclipse.assembler in package.xml) is looking
for the features and plugins it wants on disk in the set of locations determined
by ${workingDirectory} and ${target}. ${target} can actually be a comma
separated list of directories.
The property ${featurePaths} is only used to give a value to ${target} (target =
${tempDirectory}/${featurePaths}) if it does not already have one. (And since
you give a value for target, featurePaths is ignored for you).
Given the properties you posted below, this comes down to
${vceBuildDir}/workingPlace, ${vceBuildDir}/temp/eclipse
All of your plugins and features must exist on disk in one of those locations.
You have defined "prefilledTarget = true", this means that your input zips have
already been extracted to those locations. This is probably not correct for
you. prefilledTarget is the same as skipMaps=true, skipFetch=true & skipUnzip=true.
What you want instead is just skipMaps=true and skipFetch=true. This will then
run the unzipper before the generator. I believe the unzipper is unzipping from
the ${downloadDirectory} into the ${tempDirectory}
(from ${vceBuildDir}/toPackage to ${vceBuildDir}/temp)
Since the archives generally have eclipse in the root, this populates the
${target} directory for you.
In your setup, it looks like you want to set downloadDirectory=${vceBuildDir}/I.vce

Andrew,
Thanks for the prompt and thorough explanation. I have it working better
and can hopefully overcome the remaining little problems.
