The pde.build packager takes prebuilt stuff and repackages them into new archives. Currently the packager spoofs up root-file providers to include root-files in the result. We should change the packager to accept a .product file and generate the config.ini, eclipse.ini etc and add them to the spoofed root-file provider. Because of how the packager inherits from the normal assemble script generator, this should not be a large change and the biggest piece would be calling the ProductGenerator from PackageConfigScriptGenerator.generateGatherBinPartsCalls() in a manner analogous to the call in FeatureBuildScriptGenerator.generateRootFilesAndPermissions(). In fact, perhaps this ProductGenerator code can be moved generally over to the AssembleConfigScriptGenerator for all cases.
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.
