I have a simple plugin which I can export from eclipse no problem as a jar file. I have set up my pom.xml to be the same as that described on the usage page. However no jar gets created only a zip file and the structure inside the zip file is 1 level too deep to be able to use the zip file as is in eclipse plugins folder. ie the zip file is called something like com.alphabet.soup_1.1.0.zip and within it the top level folder is called com.alphabet.soup_1.1.0, with all of the plugin stuff below that.
I have tried a number of different things to get round this and have made the following observations: 1. It seems that the generated build always does the clean, build.jars and zip.plugin targets. If I specify a target via the pom.xml ie <configuration> <target>build.update.jar</target> <eclipseInstall>K:\eclipseTarget\eclipse</eclipseInstall> <antVerbose>true</antVerbose> <buildProperties> <target>build.update.jar</target> </buildProperties> </configuration> it adds it to the existing command line with the above mentioned targets as -Dtarget=build.update.jar but doesn't seem to get executed. 2. using this in the configuration seems to have no effect : <eclipseBuildScriptProperties> <outputUpdateJars>true</outputUpdateJars> </eclipseBuildScriptProperties> 3. The sample plugin from the tutorial also builds a zp file which doesn't work directly in eclipse (seems to have the extra top level directory problem also) My version of eclipse is Version: 3.2.2 Build id: M20070212-1330 What can I do to get pde-maven to generate my plugin properly - help please its driving me crazy now. Any advice at all would be welcome. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/pde-maven-trying-to-generate-a-simple-plugin.-tf4355402s177.html#a12411046 Sent from the Maven - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
