Description Pascal Rapicault CLA 2005-03-11 10:48:37 EST 
Follow up of 87742.

SCENARIO 1
1. Create a Hello world plugin 'com.example.xyz'
2. Export the plugin into a directory (D:/Temp).  Leave the 'Package each plug-
in in a JAR archive' option unchecked.

Everything will export fine.

Now for the problem. 

SCENARIO 2
1. Export the same plugin into the SAME directory (D:/Temp), but this time do 
check the 'Package each plug-in in a JAR archive' option.
2. You will see that the JAR is correctly created into D:/Temp/plugins, BUT...
the directory created from scenario 1 has been deleted.
Comment 1 Pascal Rapicault CLA 2005-03-11 10:53:04 EST 
Even if the plug-in was not deleted, its content would still be changed 
(overwritten) since the assemble script first gather the files into a flat form.

What happens then is due to the behavior of the jar'up target which jar'up the 
plugin from the folder, and eventually delete the folder.

For now I don't see any easy way to fix this kind of problem.
An approach would be to export into a tmp folder, then copy it over the folder 
specified by the user.

Currently we are not actively enhancing PDE build anymore. Therefore, I close this bug as WONTFIX. 

Please reopen, if you plan to provide a fix.
