RE: [p2-dev] publishing a product from source, headlessly

Ciao @ll :)
My 3.5-based build and tests are working now, thought I'd share some
experiences:

1.) pdebuilder now does metadata generation as well.
This new feature is awesome. No more do I need to call the director by
hand after pdebuild was finished.
Using "p2.gathering=true" did not work for a long time, took me some
hours to realize that the implicit director call was not inheriting the
pdebuilders -configuration option and thus failed with a disappointing
"Java exited with error code 13" message. I was able to work around this
problem by using the p2.director.extraArgs java property with my
"-configuration <my config>" 

2.) product build creates usable roaming installation zips, well, nearly
usable
These zips generated by "p2.gathering" are great, one issue I'm having
is that my launcher exe on unix is not getting proper execute
permissions, it gets dumped with 644 with renders the RCP unusable at
first...

3.) 3.5-based installer
Firing up my brand new 35based installer on linux I'm running into
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=268321 

Also, on all hosts I'm getting these messages, note that I'm M6-based:

So far, so good, thanks for all your help, special thanks to Andrew for
his build support !:)

The director output should come out on the console with the rest of the
ant output.  If you are calling ant programmatically, you may need to
set up a build listener. 
I did raise https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=271386 to look
at adding support to log this separately to a file.

Ciao Andrew :)
Ah, thanks !:)
I'm trying things with April 1st' I-build now! :) Using
p2.gathering=true I'm getting past the generation into the director
phase! :) The implicit director calls are still failing as I write this
(java returned exit 13). This gets me to todays question, is there any
place I can look for director output in such a case? (Took me some time
running the director by hand on the p2.gathering-generated repos so that
I could see my product had failed dependencies...)

Anyway, keep up the great work and improvements! :) Helmut

Helmut,
You are hitting https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=269540
(which causes 269322).  This was fixed in the IBuild after M6.

publishing a product from source, headlessly

                




Hi @ll :)
Just tried using 3.5 M6 to create an RCP but got stuck somehow. 
Thought I'd ask before spending too much time trying to find the right
way,
so here is what I did in 3.4                 

1.) Build the product (modify build.properties with all the
generate.p2.metadata properties) based on my .product
2.) Install from the generated repo to get a roaming, usable profile for
my RCP

>From eclipseCon I seem to remember some changes:
- pde now builds all at once (combining my two steps)
- have only a single property (can't remember which one)

Looks like my 3.4 setup succeeds in building my 3.5 code just fine (i.e.
without any changes), but does not finish the assembly phase
successfully:
.

Removing my custom launcher name from the product helps a bit here but I
thought I'd stop experimenting at this point and ask for directions,
maybe the whole process changed and I need not try to fix these
issues...

Tried searching the docs but there is not much there yet, any help is
appreciated! :) Helmut _______________________________________________
