The build.xml files that are generated by PDE includes both the bin and @dot directories of the plugins it depends on in the build classpath. For example: <target name="@dot" depends="init" unless="@dot" description="Create jar: com.onaro.client.annotations.ui @dot."> <delete dir="${temp.folder}/@dot.bin"/> <mkdir dir="${temp.folder}/@dot.bin"/> <path id="@dot.classpath"> <pathelement path="../com.onaro.client.ui/bin/"/> <pathelement path="../com.onaro.client.ui/@dot"/> <pathelement path="../com.onaro.client.dashboard.ui/bin/"/> <pathelement path="../com.onaro.client.dashboard.ui/@dot"/> <pathelement path="../com.onaro.client.license/bin/"/> <pathelement path="../com.onaro.client.license/@dot"/> </path> This leads to unexpected behavior if the bin folder is not in a consistent state before the build - for example if the project was built in Eclipse in the past, but build automatically is turned off. Why does the PDE build include the bin folder of dependent plugins in its build - rather than simply depending on @dot? If this is expected behavior, could we have an option to disable including the bin folder in the generated build files, and simply relying on @dot, or have @dot show up in the classpath above the bin directory?
Any chance of getting feedback on this issue? I'm running into more and more problems caused by it and would really like to see it resolved.
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.
This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant. -- The automated Eclipse Genie.
