Re: [pde-build-dev] A question about map files

[Kim Moir <Kim_Moir@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, the only map file entries that
refer .jar files are the ones denoted base.plugin.   It is only a
hack in our build scripts to allow us to fetch these prebuild jars from
cvs and include them in our build.  Right now we have some hand crafted
code that generates a fetch script.   The base.plugin is not standard
so I wouldn't recommend writing code to accomodate it. 

We plan to change this at some point
to use the pde build fetch factory.

Subject	Re: [pde-build-dev] A question about map files

Hi Kim,
but I really want to worry about it :-)
My quest is to make Buckminster build the rcp, starting off with nothing
more then a simple component query. I'm very close. At present I treat
the base.plugin and plugin in a similar way and I check the extension on
the path in order to decide how to materialize the entry, i.e. if it 
ends with .jar it becomes something that I "import" into my workspace
rather then doing a normal checkout. But looking closer, perhaps I could
do that only with the 'base.' entries? I see no other entries that 
actually appoints files.

In any case, a brief explanation of the semantics behind the 'base.' 
prefix would be greatly appreciated.

TIA,
Thomas Hallgren
