any way to have the batch build generate the p2 descriptor files? [message #1205] Thu, 17 April 2008 14:58 Go to next message

Sorry for not looking at the code and trying to figure this out myself,
but I thought maybe someone would have a quick answer.

I use the PDE build scripts and have not changed them for 3.4, I notice
that in my generated products there is nothing p2 related. The
generated apps work just fine.

However, I want to actually generate the p2 file that says what's to be
used, because for one of my products I want to withhold a plugin
(because that plugin will be in the application's class path in order
for me to expose it as an API to the application). (I also need to
figure out a way to tell p2 which of these p2 files to use on startup --
I'm using EclipseStarter, so I assume there is some property that I can
set for this).

Can the automated build generate this file somehow? Or is there a
better way to solve this problem short of creating an entirely separate
product with it's own copy of everything?

Thanks,

Francis

This question is better for the Equinox newsgroup.
