[platform-update-dev] Non plug-in data that is part of a feature

["Foster, Susan B" <susan.b.foster@xxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to include some non-plug-in data in a feature.  When I
export the feature to a zip file and install it, it installs and I see
my non-plugin data in the default location (since I am using the
org.eclipse.update.core.DefaultInstallHandler as my handler).  However,
when I Export the feature as a JAR archive for the Update site, and
build the Update site I get the following error when I try to install:


Unable to complete action for feature "XYZ Feature" due to errors.
  Unable to retrieve remote reference
"file:E:/EclipseWorkspace/com.xyz.update/features/com.xyz.feature_1.0.1/
zipFiles/somefile.zip".
[E:\EclipseWorkspace\com.xyz.update\features\com.xyz.feature_1.0.1\zipFi
les\somefile.zip (The system cannot find the path specified)]

If I copy the directory and files myself, it works.  But they don't seem
to be extracted from the JAR files.  Any ideas?  I looked in the
documentation for something I might have missed in the site.xml.  I
don't have anything entered in the Archive Mappings - but quite frankly,
after reading the documentation, I don't know what it is supposed to do,
or what it might be realated to.
