Re: [tycho-user] Dynamic update of build.properties

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

build.properties is a source file and as such not changed/updated during build.

If you need more flexibility wrt bin.includes, additionalFileSets[1] should help.

sounds like you could contribute to [2] ?

Thanks, did not know that one. Still my doclet does a little bit more than that. It analyses the existing plugin.xml and creates depending on registered extensions multiple help topics. So I still need a way to update the build.properties or to teach tycho to add my directory to the build.

I tried to use

<plugin>
                <!-- Add generated help folder to build -->
                <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
                <artifactId>tycho-packaging-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>${tycho-version}</version>
                <configuration>
                               <additionalFileSets>
                                               <fileSet>
                                                               <directory>${project.build.directory}/../help/</directory>
                                                               <includes>
                                                                              <include>**/*</include>
                                                               </includes>
                                               </fileSet>
                               </additionalFileSets>
                </configuration>
</plugin>

But had no luck either.

I will try to copy the files to the target/classes folder. But even if this might work it seems like a workaround to me.

Christian
