Re: [equinox-dev] Re: 3.5M6 missing eclipse directory

[Andrew Niefer <aniefer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

You can see an example of using the
equinox zip in a build here:
dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse/pde-build-home/examples/org.eclipse.pde.build.examples.rcp.cloud.releng

It downloads the equinox repo, and puts
it in base/zippedRepos, the build.properties specifies:
repoBaseLocation=${base}/zippedRepos
transformedRepoLocation=${base}/transformedRepos

This results in a call with the following:
     
  <p2.repo2runnable
destination="${transformedRepoLocation}">
         
      <source
dir="${repoBaseLocation}/"
includes="*"/>
        </p2.repo2runnable>

To do this in 3.4, you will need the
3.5 p2 bundles.  You can make the repo2runnable call yourself and
then you will also need to add repoBaseLocation to the pluginPath property.


Alternatively, for this specific case,
we know that the runnable form of all the bundles in the equinox repo is
actually a jar with the exception of the launcher fragments.  You
can unzip the repo into some location seperate from your base, and add
that location to your pluginPath property.  If you are using the launchers,
you will need to unzip those as well

PDE has support for n - 2 but has never guaranteed forward
compatibility. 
You can always try to run the p2.repo2runnable
task to make the repo in a format against which you can run.

process to build a 3.5 target ? which isnt so unusual....

Some more stupid questions.....:-)

Ok so that .zip as I learned looks that way because it is "p2-ized".
No idea how to tell the PDE Build to use it, but that explains it at least.

In 3.5M5, PDE Build added support to use p2 repos as a target:
     http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.5M5-200902021535/eclipse-news-M5.html#PDE

See the 'repoBaseLocation' and 'transformedRepoLocation' properties.
