Re: RES: [dsdp-mtj-dev] Separate resources folders formulti-target build

[Gang.Ma@xxxxxxxxxx]

I think this is a good approach, maybe
we can add a "build" page in the "Application Descriptor"
just like PDE, and user can configure the resources for each configuration
in that page.

But one problem is that: different resources
for different configurations only happens when user create package, but
when user directly run or debug a MIDlet according to the active configuration,
the right resource will not be recognized.

So we should change the MTJ build process,
I think it is not very difficult, because the resources file need not be
compiled by JDT, so we can keep all resources folder in the project's classpath,
what we need to do is package the right resource in the temp jar when "Preverify
builder" is running(a temp jar will be created in a temp folder when
MTJ project is built).

Other options that i was thinking
about how to do this is to have like a build.properties file on each mtj
project similar to PDE. 
 
Everytime that we add a configuration,
we could add an entry on that file that list all content that is included
on the final jar file. That would give more freedom to the developer to
use to organize this folder and also to have like common resource folders.
 
A possible example of file
is:
 
config_1.bin.includes = .,res_common,res_config1
config_2.bin.includes = .,res_common,res_config2
 
this approach might be easier
to implement.

I agree with your assessment on this.  
it is very similar to the way that we change out the JavaME libraries when
the target device is altered.  This
is a non-trivial feature to add to the system and definitely needs to be
part of a major release.

I am thinking how to define source folders for each configuration. I am
afraid JDT don't support this feature. So we can 
1. Set source folders information in configuration meta data. 
2. Only current active configuration's source folders are JDT Java source
folder. Other source folders are set to normal folder.
3. When active configuration switch, source folders switch too.
4. Modify Antenna build files exporting feature. 
5. When packaging, go through every configurations, switch source folders,
build source code, and copy JAD and JAR files. 

I guess only if configurations share some source folders, put them in one
project make sense; otherwise, user can create separate projects.
I think it's better to add this feature in feature release, if it is important.

If it is important, and not currently in the roadmap, then it seems that
we should put it there. Would this be a good 1.1 feature?

This has been in the conceptual design for quite some time (back in EclipseME
days).  I
agree that it is an important piece of functionality.

One more issue what I need in MTJ.
Developer of limited devices many times require to use different resource
folders for each configuration.
My suggestion is 
1) define default resource folders for project (this choice is currently
available)
2) possibility to define resource folders for each device configuration.

what you think ?

similar problem was:
