Re: [pde-dev] Exporting plug-in with linked resources?

[Andrew Niefer <aniefer@xxxxxxxxxx>]

PDE/Build which performs the export
behind the scenes, has several problems with linked content.

In particular for this case, in the
generated build.xml, the ant script used to copy files into the result
assumes that the resources are all coming from within the plugin project.
 There is no access to the workspace at this point, so the assumption
is really that everything is under the plugin's directory on disk.

In order to get such external resources
included in the result, you will need to use customBuildCallbacks (http://help.eclipse.org/help33/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/guide/tasks/pde_custom_callbacks.htm)
to do it.
Use the pre.gather.bin.parts or post.gather.bin.parts
targets.

Subject	[pde-dev] Exporting plug-in with linked resources?

Greetings,

I have a plug-in project set up within Eclipse, with one folder that is
a linked resource.  On the Build Configuration page, I have selected
many items from within the linked resource to include when I export the
plug-in.  However, when I use the Export Wizard to do so, none of
the items from my linked resource are included L.
 The export succeeds without error, and everything _else_ is
in the exported directory…but it is like my linked resources are being
totally ignored.  I _must_ be doing something wrong…any “gotchas”
using linked resources in this manner?  Essentially, I have some libraries
which I wish to include when I export the plug-in, but do not wish to physically
include in my plug-in project.  Any help is _greatly_ appreciated.
 Thanks!
