Betreff: Re: [tycho-user] Adding a default workspace via rootfiles

 

Dear all,

 

I think I stumbled upon a bug. Disabling the use of default excludes does not include the .metadata directory (see below). Does anybody have any idea what is going on here? Is there an alternative to using the tycho-packaging-plugin?

 

Thank you for any valuable input,

 

best regards,

 

Robert

Dear Simon,

 

thank you for your pointer. The description of the pluginParameter sounds promising. Unfortunately, I can’t seem to get it to work. But I am still a tycho-newbie.

 

The feature containing the default workspace (including .metadata) is called: „ch.hilbri.assist.features.defaults“. I tried to add the config parameter, so that pom.xml of this feature now contains:

<version>0.23.1</version>

<configuration>

<useDefaultExcludes>false</useDefaultExcludes>

</configuration>

</plugin>

</plugins>

</build>

</project>

Unfortunately, this does not change anything. The .metadata folder is still excluded … What did I miss?

 

Thank you for efforts and best regards,

 

Robert

Hi Robert,

 

I've come across this some time ago. I believe you will need to set the tycho packaging plugin parameter "useDefaultExcludes" [1] to false in the pom file for your feature. There are a bunch of files and folders excluded by default - including .metadata - see [2]. You may need to replicate some of the default exclude patterns in your pom depending on your SCM.

HTH,

Dear all,

 

I would like to populate my RCP product with a „default workspace“, containing a default project.

 

I tried to achieve this by creating a dedicated feature and a rootfiles-folder which is configured in the build.properties file. The rootfiles-folder contains the workspace-folder which comprises of a default project and some settings (in a .metadata folder). See screenshot:

 

 

Building the product works fine, and the resulting “ch.hilbri.assist.features.defaults_root-2.0.0.201508270922-root.zip” file contains the workspace and the “ExampleProject”. Unfortunately, the “.metadata” folder has NOT been copied.

 

I tried to check the documentation for rootfiles, but there seems to be no options like “include dot-files or dot-folders”.

 

Are there any other options to copy the “workspace folder” (including .metadata) to the target?

 

Best regards,

 

Robert
