Re: [pde-build-dev] How do I get my headless build to take note of the .product file I am pointing the "product" property at? 
Hi Doug

It runs for me but, it does not do the product (as supposed). So it is possible to submit as bug to eclipse.org. I have a few remarks before you put it to the bug reports:

I think the product property should be (but that does not work too):
product=/org.eclipse.rcp.helloFeature/helloFeature.product

Add doublequotes also around the -cp like in my example (to avoid whitespace problems): "%JAVA_HOME%\bin\java.exe" -cp "%ECLIPSE_HOME%\startup.jar"

Build directory is hardcoded in build.properties (a user has to change it there also).

The zip must be unpacked in the builddirectory given in the build properties file.

Thanks and bye,
Martin

I haven't filed a report yet-- I want to get some sanity-checking first.

I've attached a minimal zip, which illustrates by problem. I can export the helloFeature.product in eclipse successfully.

Running headless.bat after unzipping and renaming it to .bat (so gmail will send it) this small 16KB zip, and patching up any local refs to eclipse, and the drive (at the top of the .bat), results in a "build successful" for me, but alas, no productization occurs, and no errors/warnings.

I have tried every conceivable way of specifying the path to the .product file beyond the one in build.properties.

Any help would be much appreciated. It must be something stupid that I'm doing wrong.

    Hi Doug

    I can say that I was not able to make it running...
    The bad thing is that my project is currently confidential and I cannot
    post my build files. Did you do a bug report? Which number?
    Then I can vote and add my experiences there.

    Regards,
    Martin
