Re: [osgi-dev] R: R: Import in the same Eclipse workspacve bnd projects from different filesystem locations

[BJ Hargrave]

Well, all things are possible in programming :-) But as you note, we need fidelity with non-Eclipse usage like gradle, ant, etc. And they cannot depend upon decoding Eclipse metadata (which is not API) to figure out where on the file system all the projects in the bnd workspace are located. How would this possibly translate to a CI build where there is nothing other than the git repo?

 

Basically you need to think that one bnd workspace == one git repo == one Eclipse workspace.

Clear, but I supposed that bnd could be instructed by bndtools about the location of the projects to build and of the cnf one. Why not?

 

Of course this would not be possible if you build with gradle. In this case the only possibility would be to pass to gradle the location of the eclipse workspace in order to know the location of the projects. I guess that location of the projects is somewhere in the .metadata directory.

You can't do that. All the bnd projects must be in the same file system folder as the cnf folder. They all can be in a different folder than the Eclipse workspace folder but you cannot split bnd projects across file system folders.

 

Remember Bndtools is a set of Eclipse plugins which use Bnd to build bundle projects. Bnd knows nothing about Eclipse and Eclipse workspaces. It only knows about the file system. So it Bnd does not know how you may have logically arranged projects in an Eclipse workspace. Bnd only cares about how things are arranged on the file system.

Hi  BJ,

 

Consider this example.

 

I have git workspace repo1 with cnf and project1 bnd projects

Then I have a second git repo with cnf and project2 bnd projects.

 

I create an eclipse workspace and I import (not copy):

-          From repo1 the cnf and project1 bndtoos projects

-          From repo2 project2

 

I can see all the projects in my Eclipse workspace but bndtools do not show  project2 in the Workspace repository and therefore it is not possible to add it in the bndrun configuration because it is simply not listed in the browse repos listbox.

Moreover bndtools doesn’t build it (If I delete any jar file present in project2/generated folder, it is not generated anymore).

Yes. The git repo holding your project can be in a different folder than the eclipse workspace.

Hi,

 

Eclipse PDE tools allows to import in a workspace (without copy them), projects from different filesystem locations.

Is this use case supported in some way by the EnRoute/Bndtools toolchain?

 

Thanks in advance,

N.
