[news.eclipse.technology.ajdt] Re: Binary cycles while exporting RCP pro

["Gaston M. Tonietti" <gaston.tonietti@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for answering Andrew. I've added myself to the CC list of the bug.

But I still have the problem, I'm not able to export my product with aspects support. Do you know what I am doing in the meanwhile? I have to copy compiled aspects from my project output folder into the plugin jar 
inside the product zip :O (thanks Midnight Commander for supporting that!!). So every time I have to export a new Milestone, it is a pain you know where :-)

I also have to make a headless build to work. I have it working after following instructions from Andrew Niefer' blog "Building p2 RCP products in Eclipse 3.5M6", but guess what... without aspects working :-)

I found a solution for that in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=252641#c12

I replaced this line:
<ant antfile="${eclipse.pdebuild.scripts}/productBuild/productBuild.xml" />
with this one:
<ant antfile="${ajdt.pdebuild.scripts}/productBuild/productBuild.xml" />

but I got this error:
BUILD FAILED
project-releng/buildProduct.xml:21: The following error occurred while executing this line:
project-releng/org.eclipse.ajdt.pde.build_1.6.3.200808060918/scripts/productBuild/productBuild.xml:20: The following error occurred while executing this line:

I also tried replacing with this line as the bug comment says:
<ant antfile="${ajdt.pdebuild.scripts}/build.xml" />

but I got this error:
BUILD FAILED
project-releng/buildProduct.xml:21: The following error occurred while executing this line:

So, just for you to know, I'm using Galileo release with the proper AJDT version 2.0.0 and it seems that this build plugin is for AJDT 1.6.3. Am I right?
So I would like to know if there is any update of the AJDT PDE Build but for last AJDT version 2.0.0 and if it supports the same that PDE one does, such as p2 repository generation.

Thanks a lot.
Gaston.
