3.4 .link files under OS-X 10.5.3 [message #329610] Mon, 30 June 2008 06:55 Go to next message

Did anybody get .link files to work under OS-X 10.5.3? I tried .link
files in the "dropins" and "links" folder but Eclipse does not recognize
the plugins. Creating a symbolic link in the dropins folder (using the
path=/blah... section from the link file) to the plugin directory works
- so the path is correct, but I'd rather use .link files. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Peter

I'm not sure .link files are still supported with p2. Read up on it
here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox_p2_Getting_Started

Hope this helps,
Eric

Eric,

the documentation says it should work - the "dropins" folder supports
plugin stuctures direcly and .link files, the "links" folder is kept for
backwards compatibility.

Did anybody get it to work under OS-X 10.5.3?

Thanks,
Peter

for me it works both:

dropins/foo/eclipse/plugins
dropins/foo.link

the .link file contains
path=/your_path

links to a plugin folder structure work.

For example my jseclipse.link looks like this:
path=/Users/peter/eclipse-plugins/jseclipse

Directory structure:
/Users/peter/eclipse-plugins/jseclipse/eclipse/plugins
/features

I assume this is correct?

yes - this is correct and exactly the same structure as mine

if you copy
jseclipse/eclipse/plugins + / features
directly into your dropins folder - then it works ?

Hi ekke - yes, either copying or creating a symbolic link works. I set
the dropins folder to 0777 because I do not work as administrator on
OS-X. Really strange.
