Re: [tycho-user] tycho-compiler vs tycho-packaging when building multipl

["Sievers, Jan" <jan.sievers@xxxxxxx>]

As Igor said, try to avoid nested jars.

this behaviour is basically due to the limitation of bin.includes which demands the same filesystem structure in the project basedir as packaged in the bundle jar.

 

If you have to, there are two things you can do

 

1. configure maven-clean-plugin to wipe the generated jars during clean phase, see [1]

2. add generated jars to .gitignore (or similar for your SCM)

Subject: [tycho-user] tycho-compiler vs tycho-packaging when building multiple jars with build.properties

 

When I use the source.<lib> properties in build.properties the tycho-compiler plugin outputs to ${project.build.directory}/<lib>-classes, but tycho-packaging:package-plugin outputs to ${basedir}/<lib>. Is that because the bin.includes are relative to ${basedir}? I like to standardize on having all build-process generated output created under a known folder, so that developers universally know they can delete that folder to force a full clean rebuild. But this inconsistency between compiler and packaging is making that configuration a bit cumbersome. I can use the additionalFileSets instead of bin.includes to include the jar files in my plugin, but using “source.target/mylib.jar” means I then need to use “${project.build.directory}/target/…” when staging files for each source.<lib> in my pom.xml, because there is no bin.includes.<lib> I can put in my build.properties (at least not according to help.eclipse.org).

 

So while I _can_ get it configured and working, the inconsistency between tycho-compiler and tycho-packaging is a bit cumbersome to work with (if keeping all your build output under the target folder is important to you). Am I overcomplicating the configuration somewhere? Can there be better consistency in a future release?
