Re: [pde-build-dev] Buiding Update sites via headless builds.
Is there any particular reason why this can't or hasn't been done? I'd happily help contribute patches or code to get this functionality implemented. Is there something wrong with the way that the VE code generates the update site? I'm happy to use it, but it's just in a really obscure place to be useful.
Maybe you can just give me advice about what I could do if I describe the over all view:
1. Build a master set of features and plug-ins that actually builds from source.
2. Take the master set and build various sub-sets of features and package them (using the Eclipse packager). This is merely a function of packaging, not of actual source builds.
3. Take the master set package them into products (using the Eclipse product build scripts). This is merely a function of package, not of actual source builds.
I have a site.xml but it has a hardcoded value of the jar's and feature version inside of it? Is there any easy path from any step in there given the pieces and parts I have? 

Thanks,
   Kirby

Hi,

There is no support in PDE Build to generate the site.xml. However the
packager should support the creation of jars ready for an update site by
setting the property: outputUpdateJars=true

[pde-build-dev] Buiding Update sites via headless builds.






All,

   Sorry about spamming the dev list if this belongs on a news group, but
after looking around I didn't see a news group for PDE.  Hopefully this is

the correct list, and not much of a bother.

   At my company, I do PDE Headless builds and packaging.  The last step
I'd
like to take is to publish update sites.  I've found where Eclipse does
this
in the nightly build process, but it appears to me that the class to do it

is in a very odd spot.  It appears that it uses
"org.eclipse.releng.generators.UpdateBuilder".  Which the only reference I

can find for that is inside of the org.eclipse.ve.releng.builder.

   Somehow that seemed more appropriate to me to be in a "core" Eclipse
tool
rather then off in the Visual Editor infrastructure.  It looks like I can
just pull the two classes in isolation and use them, but I'd much rather
use
the "official" ones.  Alternatively, I've missed something simple, and
will
be thrilled to learn how to do this with the stock tools.

Is the UpdateBuilder the best code to use for building update sites
headlessly?  Is there another copy of that class/code around that I can
reference from inside of an Ant script?

     Kirby
