just one question concerning the "Included Features" section when defining a feature. What is this setting for?

In my project, i have several features defined. For a more convenient usage, i've created a "master feature", which declares no plugins but includes only all these single features. When i create an update site with this "master feature", it is possible to both the "master feature" and all contained features...

But what i want is just a single "master feature" to install, which hides all other features. Is this possible, or should a add every plugin of every single feature in order to create such a "master feature".

Thanks
Timothy

You can still use product definitions to build vanilla OSGi applications! What's the problem with the product definitions? In 3.5, we did a lot of work to make sure you didn't have to explicitly be tied to RCP to use products in OSGi application. For example, there's options now to not even include native artifacts when you export. Also, the "application" and "product" fields are optional now. In your case, I think you need the application field filled out and include the delta pack... that should give you the launchers.

Also, be aware of this bug:

I am trying to move my IDE environment from Eclipse 3.4 to 3.5 and we are having a very strange problem related to Reqire-Bundle header.

Workspace being exactly the same that was uesd in Eclipse 3.4, we are getting "Unsatisfied version constraint" errors on one of our plug-ins.

The error appears only for this one project and only if we add one specific bundle to the Require-Bundle list (no matter if we restrict it to one specific bundle or not)

There is nothing special about either of the plug-ins and this exact setup worked (and still works) without problems in Eclipse 3.4

Basically as soon as we include the "wrong" bundle in Require-Bundle list, all the bundles there will marked with "Unsatisfied version constraint" error.

Also - the weirdest part is that the "wrong" bundle is required by many other bundles as well, where it dies not seem to cause any problems.

I'm developping a modeler using GMF, but my issue seems to be a generic eclipse plugin issue.

I have one Diagram project, that is generated by GMF.

I want to create specific actions on the diagrams, so I created a specific plugin project for my actions only, in order to separate the generated code from the custom code.

I have an export action in that separate plugin, I see the menu entry in the diagram, but when I want to launch it, it says it cannot instantiate my class.

Is it possible to have multiple plugins interracting like that ? (one for the view part, one for the actions on the view)

If yes, how do I do that ?

Thanks !

Hi all,
I've got a 3.4 application that was using classic updates.

I've switched to 3.5, and am now adopting p2.

I build and export my feature-based product (including metadata repository). I'm then unsure about how updates should work.

I'm aware that the deploy stage creates a repository. If I update the software, and re-do the export phase an updated repository is created.

If I open a deployed application, and select 'Check for updates', it doesn't find anything ('there is nothing to update'). If I explicitly add the repository (via the update section of preferences), no updates are found, but if I 'install new software' and clear the 'group items by category' option I can see the updated features. If I then select 'next', my app correctly establishes that it's actually performing an update but not an install, but then fails.

The failure indicates it can't install the updated features, because my application depends on the existing versions:

===========================
Your original request has been modified.
"Combined Maritime Analysis Platform plugins" is already installed, so an update will be performed instead.
"Debrief-specific plugins" is already installed, so an update will be performed instead.
Cannot complete the install because of a conflicting dependency.

I'd appreciate any tips on what is actually happening here. Do I have to amend my product to say that it can take updates versions of it's features?


cheers,

Hope that helps Mickael I'm interested in the same thing. sign.excludes looks promising, only I don't want to have to write a property entry that has a comma delimited list of every JAR that is not ours. Especially when that list might change if I add another Eclipse dependency in a feature somewhere. It doesn't look like wildcards are supported. Is there any other magic I can use here?

Thanks

We have an RCP Product based on 3.5M6 SDK that we build headlessly. I can turn on JAR signing with the following build.properties:
jarProcessor.unsign = true
signJars=true
sign.alias=<alias>
sign.keystore=<path to keystore>
sign.storepass=<storepass>
sign.keypass=<keypass>

This builds our product (and incidentally its P2 repository) but results in replacement of most Eclipse signatures with our own. I would rather leave Eclipse signatures alone, as they are trusted and replacing them takes time. Is there a straightforward way to have PDE just sign our JARs, resulting in a signed Product and its repository?

Thanks,

I am creating some plugins that will include a new perspective that has some new editors and views that I will create, but I also need a simple javascript editor and would prefer to use an existing one. It is possible that I won't even need to extend it, but it would be great if I could. The only thing is that the input will not be a file but a snippet of javascript that I need to feed in via a string. I see that in my stock eclipse environment there is a javascript editor, but I don't know the plug id for this so I can use it, and I don't know where to look to figure out how to make the input not read from a file. For that matter, I am wondering if there is an available open source plug in that implements a basic javascript editor that I could use. Any help/thoughts?

I am trying to automate the build, using pde build, of a p2-enabled, 3.4 version of Simon's servletbridge. By manual assembly and configuration I have a working version of the servletbridge using 3.4 bundles and p2-enbaled. Using the osgi console api I can provision new bundles into the system using p2. This is excellent. But I know need to automate the build of this product. To some extent I've been able to do this. I have a build script that uses pde build to build a root feature, p2 generator to generate p2 metadata and artifact repositories and p2 director to install the root feature into my webapp structure. This also generates the p2 profile. What I dont know is how to deal with the bundles.info file. Is the p2 director app meant to generate it for me? How do you manage this yourselves for the various eclipse products that you now build; j2ee, classic, etc?
