Dear All,

I am building update websites for windows, macosx and linux plug-ins. In
the feature definition, we have os specific fragment plug-ins. For example:

org.eclipse.core.filesystem.macosx
org.eclipse.core.filesystem.win32.x86

But, when I click "Build All" in update site project, it only builds and
copy win32 plug-ins. All non-win32 plug-ins are left out. Is there any
further setting to make it works? Or do you need different update sites
for Windows and MacOS X?

Thank you so much! Have a nice day!

Best Regards,
Frank Du

You've hit this issue:

196556: [Update Site Editor]Building feature from site.xml editor does
not build fragments
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=196556

Is there a reason you don't have a headless build going where this isn't
an issue ;)?

Hi Chris,

Thank you so much! I finally set up headless build last Friday. So far it
works pretty well, except the generation of p2 artifact metadata.

Best Regards,

Cool. If you need help with the p2 side of things, check out Andrew's
