Re: [pde-build-dev] Default for target windowing system

[Andrew Niefer <aniefer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Thomas,
How exactly is the build failing, is
this a problem in the running eclipse, or a problem in the build?

For a given eclipse, the os/ws/arch
are set in this order:
1) From the command line or .ini file
 (-ws, -os, -arch) 
2) automatically by the eclipse launcher
based on how that launcher was compiled.
3) Guessed by OSGi

For linux, the guess was previously
motif, this was changed for https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=185952,
to be gtk starting in 3.4M2.

Subject	[pde-build-dev] Default for target windowing system

Hi,
When Buckminster performs a headless build on a Linux x86_64 machine 
against a target platform that contains the RCP delta pack, the default
windowing system is always set to "motif". This causes the build
to fail 
since no such combination exists. While we do provide means to 
explicitly set the targetWS, we would still like to set defaults that 
corresponds to existing combinations so that the user typically doesn't
have to specify an explicit windowing platform. My question is, where 
are these defaults picked up today and how can I specify other defaults?

Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
