| RE: [pde-build-dev] Order of compiling plugins during headless build |
|
Unfortunately, I don't know of a way to influence the build order manually... The way I found out it was building them in the correct order was to add custom build xml files to each plugin, which get called by the PDE builder during the build process. Then, I examined the order of the calls Ant was making. You could try something similar to see if it is actually trying to build your plugins out of order, or if there is some other problem. Actually, another problem that I had during the build process was that I was trying to build one of the plugins as a directory, not a jar file. To do this in Eclipse, your plugin's build include path (bin.includes line in the manifest file) must not contain an entry for the '.' character. PDE Builder was doing the wrong thing in this case and not moving the generated class files to the correct directory, resulting in a similar problem. If you are deploying your plugin as a directory, that might be the case as well. - Marshall > Date: Thu, 6 Dec 2007 09:09:17 +0100 > From: felix.zielke@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > To: pde-build-dev@xxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: [pde-build-dev] Order of compiling plugins during headless build > > Hi Marshall, > > all my plugins have the > source.. = src/ > output.. = bin/ > entries, so this can't be the problem. > > I was having the same problem with the PDE build for a product I was > > working on.
