Re: [udig-devel] Building the SDK

[Jody Garnett <jody.garnett@xxxxxxxxx>]

I noticed that the build.properties in net.refractions.udig_sdk-feature contains wrong (the old) feature references:

generate.feature@net.refractions.udig_platform.source=net.refractions.udig_platform

generate.feature@net.refractions.udig_application.source=net.refractions.udig_application

generate.feature@net.refractions.udig_printing.source=net.refractions.udig_printing

generate.feature@net.refractions.udig_sdk.source=net.refractions.udig_sdk

generate.feature@net.refractions.udig_tutorials.source=net.refractions.udig_tutorials

I changed these lines to:

generate.feature@net.refractions.udig_platform.source-feature=net.refractions.udig_platform-feature

generate.feature@net.refractions.udig_application.source-feature=net.refractions.udig_application-feature

generate.feature@net.refractions.udig_printing.source-feature=net.refractions.udig_printing-feature

generate.feature@net.refractions.udig_sdk.source-feature=net.refractions.udig_sdk-feature

generate.feature@net.refractions.udig_tutorials.source-feature=net.refractions.udig_tutorials-feature

I am still getting a bit confused about what goes where when in these generate.feature lines.

The docs here (http://dev.eclipse.org/viewsvn/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/guide/pde_source_generation.htm?view=co) are a bit hard to understand.

The interesting part is this "<source feature id>:  This is the id of the source feature and plug-in to be generated.  Normally it is something like <feature id>.source".

We *do* have a plugin named "net.refractions.udig_platform.source" and the build.properties there does mark it as a source plugin. I am not sure if the system is smart enough to associate net.refractions.udig_platform.source and net.refractions.udig_platform.source-feature and unpack the sources into the plugin - we will see.

For now I am getting a bit stuck replacing (ant) refresh.xml with (maven) pom-libs.xml - I will let you know how I go.
