Re: [pde-build-dev] PDE source-plugin build
|
Michael,
PDE Build does not have any debug logging
during script generation.
Debugging PDE itself might be simpler
than adding logging.
Just do the following:
1) Run the eclipse that contains pde.build
2) open the Plugin-Development perspective
3) in the Plug-ins view, find pde.build
and right-click -> add to java search
4) Ctrl+shift+T to open FeatureBuildScriptGenerator
5) set a breakpoint on generate();
6) Make a new debug configuration to
run the org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner application
7) Set your program arguments as appropriate
and debug.
To make changes to the code (ie add
logging), instead of 2 & 3, do:
a) Make sure you have a 1.4.2 JRE installed:
Window -> Preferences -> Java -> Installed JREs
b) open the CVS perspective, add anonymous
dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse as a repository and check out org.eclipse.pde.build
c) In the package-explorer, right click
on Meta-Inf/manifest.mf -> PDE Tools -> Create Ant Build File
d) on the resulting build.xml, right
click -> Run As -> ant Build (This builds the lib/pdebuild-ant.jar,
you only need to do this once).
Continue at 4) to debug

I'm trying to generate source
plugins. I've tried to follow the instructions in "Advanced
PDE build topics/Generating Source Features and Plug-ins", but am
getting nowhere. When I include my "xxx.sdk" feature in
my build, it fails during the generate step for the xxx.sdk, saying that
it 'couldn't create feature file: yyy' where yyy is previously built and
is in the output directory. It fails after having created the xxx.source
feature and plugin, but before writing the build.xml files for either the
sdk or source features and plugins.
Before begging for help, I'd
like to know what debugging facilities are available. Is it possible
to get the PDE build to tell you what it's doing? I'm finding the
output quite terse, and the error messages not very useful since they usually
tell you what went wrong but not what the build was doing or what it expected,
etc.
I know you can use -debug and
an .options file, but I haven't seen a description of what can be put into
the file.
How hard would it be to build
the PDE plugins on my machine and add my own debug logging?
Thanks for any help.
