<p><font face="Verdana" size="2">When building an eclipse based product from features, it is now possible to copy files or directories to the eclipse directory. This is achieved thanks to the following properties:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
root=a comma separated list of files and directories
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
To refer to a file prefix the name with "file:", to refer to a directory, simply list the name.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
It is also possible to set permissions on those root files:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
root.permissions.XXX=a comma separated list of files and directories
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
where XXX is a unix chmod style permission description.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
It is also possible to copy files and apply permissions on a configuration basis
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
root.configName=
|
||||
root.configName.permissions.XXX=
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
where configName is a doted description of the platform (os.ws.arch).
|
||||
|
||||
Here an example for org.eclipse.platform
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
root=eclipse
|
||||
root.macosx.carbon.ppc=macosx.carbon,../../plugins/platform-launcher/bin/macosx
|
||||
root.macosx.carbon.ppc.link=Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse,eclipse
|
||||
root.macosx.carbon.ppc.permissions.755=Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
It is also possible to trigger the generation of source features and plugins
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
generate.feature@nameOfTheFeatureToGenerate=featureName, plugin@XXXX
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
generate a feature called 'nameOfTheFeatureToGenerate' from the plugins contained in the feature called 'featureName' and also include the plugin xxxx
|
||||
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
Example : generate.feature@org.eclipse.jdt.source=org.eclipse.jdt, plugin@org.eclipse.jdt.doc.isv</font></p>
|
||||
</ul>

For every jar file that is being built three variables can be provided. Note that "{jarname}" describes the name of the jar file including its path relative to the project.
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>a variable named "source.{jarname}" describing where the source of the jar
|
||||
can be found. The expected value is a path relative to the project (for example "src/").</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>a variable named "output.{jarname}" describing where the bin of the jar can
|
||||
be found. The expected value is a path relative to the project (for
|
||||
example "bin/").</li>
|
||||
|
||||
<li>a variable named "extra.{jarname}" describing the list of jars required to
|
||||
compile this jar. The expected values are paths relative to the place where the
|
||||
project is.</li>
|
||||
</ul>
|
||||
A short way to explain the content of those variables is to see them as variables used for the compilation:
|
||||
<ul>
|
||||
<li>the source indicates where to find the source of the jar.</li>
|
||||
<li>the extra gives extra values to be put at the end of the classpath when we
|
||||
are compiling the source.</li>
|
||||
<li>the output indicates where the content of a compiled version of the library
|
||||
exists (this is typically used in the classpath of plugins requiring this jar).</li>
