[news.eclipse.platform.rcp] headless builds and icons

[null@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (Erik)]

Hello,

I'm knee-deep in writing my headless build scripts, starting with the 
super-awesome RCP Quickstart article here: 
(http://rcpquickstart.wordpress.com/2007/06/06/getting-started-with-pde-build/). 
I've managed to replace most of the hard-coded paths in the build.xml and 
build.properties files with environment variables, but have run into a 
problem with the icons. I'm now getting a similar error to the one 
described in an older thread: 
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform.rcp/msg26029.html. 
What it looks like is happening is that the assemble*.xml file is 
concatenating two sets of path strings when it builds the icon paths. My 
product file looks like this:

        <bmp
           winSmallHigh="/plugin.name/icons/bmp_16h.bmp"
           winSmallLow="/plugin.name/icons/bmp_16.bmp"
           winMediumHigh="/plugin.name/icons/bmp_32h.bmp"
           winMediumLow="/plugin.name/icons/bmp_32.bmp"
           winLargeHigh="/plugin.name/icons/bmp_48h.bmp"
           winLargeLow="/plugin.name/icons/bmp_48.bmp"/>

But the assemble*.xml file has cobbled together this:

		<eclipse.brand 
root="${eclipse.base}/win32.win32.x86/${collectingFolder}" 
icons="${launcherIcons}, 
${basedir}/C:\path\to\build\plugins\plugin.name\icons\bmp_16h.bmp, 
${basedir}/C:\path\to\build\plugins\plugin.name\icons\bmp_16.bmp, 
${basedir}/C:\path\to\build\plugins\plugin.name\icons\bmp_32h.bmp, 
${basedir}/C:\path\to\build\plugins\plugin.name\icons\bmp_32.bmp, 
${basedir}/C:\path\to\build\plugins\plugin.name\icons\bmp_48h.bmp, 
${basedir}/C:\path\to\build\plugins\plugin.name\icons\bmp_48.bmp" 
name="${launcherName}" os="${os}"		/>

And so when the build is run, I get:

[eclipse.brand] Error - 7 icon(s) not replaced in 
C:\path\to\build\tmp\plugin.name\win32.win32.x86\plugin.name\launcher.exe 
using 
C:\path\to\build/C:\path\to\build\plugins\build.name\icons\bmp_16h.bmp

----
I guess I have a couple questions:

1. Why is the assemble*.xml generating this extra "/C:\path\to\build" 
after the ${basedir}?

2. Where is ${launcherIcons} defined?


Thanks!

Erik
