Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Provide SDK feature for RAP

[Ralf Sternberg <rsternberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Thomas,

thanks for your analysis. Do you have a hint how those requirements can
be added to the metadata? I tried different combinations of command line
arguments, but with none of them "A.PDE" ended up in the content.xml. My
current method of creating metadata is the following:

java -Xmx512m -cp $ECLIPSE_LAUNCHER org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main \
      -application
org.eclipse.equinox.p2.metadata.generator.EclipseGenerator \
      -updateSite "$inputDir" \
      -metadataRepository "file://$inputDir" \
      -metadataRepositoryName "RAP Update Site" \
      -artifactRepository "file://$inputDir" \
      -artifactRepositoryName "RAP Artifacts" \
      -reusePack200Files \
      -noDefaultIUs

Java is 1.5.0_19, $ECLIPSE_LAUNCHER points to
org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.200.v20090513.jar from an Eclipse
3.5RC1 installation.

Thanks, Ralf
