Hi Hugo

I have opened a bug to against platform
releng to address the issue that you raised, specifically that the releng
templates should be more generic to allow others to take advantage of them.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=122560

As for the chocolate, thank you for
the kind thoughts . However, there is a lot of holiday chocolate left around
here so perhaps this could be deferred to later on in the release cycle
:-)

Subject	[platform-releng-dev] Re: Source Feature/Plugin build problem

Hi

I got it working. What threw me off was looking at the jdt as an
example. The jdt is a complex project and has been in developments
since the start therefore there are structures and artifacts that are
left over from those days. I succeeded by just taking the GEF project
as my example and following the structure of the projects and the way
that they implement releng. The differences between what they do in
the customTargets and build.properties is not very deviant from the
available templates. It would be helpful if we clear up the new
preferred structure of the projects by defining: distribution feature
as the final feature build that may contain one or more binary and
source features. The current terminology in the the readme is not
clear. I would like to suggest provide a very simple example template
that will actually compile and work and then direct readers of the
readme to view GEF example. Yet I must admit that working through all
the ant files and looking at the way the projects use releng was very
very illuminating and by having a simple example... maybe I would not
have build up my knowledge as well.

Just my two cents. I would like to thank you all for your work and if
there is a place to send chocolate then please let me know since you
deserve it.

Have a good year.
