Re: [tycho-user] Error: Tycho unable to locate the equinox launcher feature
Are you using a target file ? Or only a P2 repo ? Any log ? Tycho version ?

Sorry, want to follow up a little bit more as I have some additional information on the issue.

That stack trace only occurs if I check the 'The product includes native launcher artifacts' checkbox in the *Product Editor in Eclipse.  

However, if I leave that checkbox unchecked, the resulting product archives do NOT contain an executable to launch the resultant application.  Additionally, while I am specifying a launcher name of 'xxx' in the 'Launching' section of the *Product Editor, I see it is creating a 'eclipse.ini' file.  It is my understanding that this ini file should match the launcher name.

I saw this type of behavior before in PDE when it could not locate the org.eclipse.equinox.executable feature - so it might just be a different manifestation of the same problem.

Thanks!

Greetings again.  I am moving from a PDE/Ant based build into Tycho - so probably more questions will be forthcoming :)  

Most of the conversion has been amazingly easy and understandable ( nice change from the mess that is PDE ).  However, I am now encountering issues when trying to execute the tycho-p2-publisher-plugin:

Now, I am not necessarily surprised by this error but need/want to understand how Tycho expects to resolve this dependency.  The product I am building is based on a subset of Eclipse features/plugins - so when our clients point to our P2 repository, they get everything they need/can use from a single P2 repo (aka - they aren't pointing to "my" P2 repo + standard Eclipse repo).  I am packaging the org.eclipse.equinox.executable feature in my P2 repository with our relevant/supported O/S fragments. I can see the launcher fragments & root IUs are downloaded in my Maven repository (under the p2  /osgi/bundle & /binary folders respectively).  However, the org.eclipse.equinox.executable feature itself is NOT present in org/eclipse/update/feature directory.  I'm guessing it is because the feature is not listed *product file describing the build.  However, as this is really only a build-time dependency, I would prefer to not add it here.

Any help/insight would be appreciated.  Also, if I am rambling and not making sense - let me know and I will happily address any further questions about my setup.

Andy
