i'm trying to create a custom package that is basically the eclipse
c/c++ package with a few additional plugins
while there are posts in this forum about doing this, it's been about
the older hackfest method that people had to use with 3.4 and older. i'm
interested in the new p2 method.
there is this documentation:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/EPP/Galileo_Packages#Local_Package_Build
while that works fine to locally recreate one of the official epp
packages, it isnt exactly bursting with details for creating your own
derivative package. so i thought i'd start off simple and try to
recreate the official CDT package by using the local file:// method
rather than the public URLs.
i started with the official RCP eclipse package. then i imported the
org.eclipse.epp.package.cpp and related .feature projects from cvs
(using the URL in the aforementioned wiki page). attempting to export
these resulted in missing CDT errors, so i installed the CDT via the
update manager. now trying to use the "Eclipse Product export wizard"
fails with this error:
Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not
be found.
Missing requirement: Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers 1.2.1.200909020128
(epp.package.cpp 1.2.1.200909020128) requires 'org.eclipse.platform.ide
0.0.0' but it could not be found
Software being installed: Eclipse IDE for C/C++ Developers
1.2.1.200909020130 (epp.package.cpp 1.2.1.200909020130)
googling for this error only results in hits about people unable to
launch the initial eclipse. no real hints as to where one can find this
plugin.
