Yesterday moovida managed to catch me on IRC and was very clear in reminding me that we need a "dropins" folder. Frank has also been clear that he wants the next release made with tycho (as we are so close….).
So how about some progress - with using an up to date version of tycho (thanks Sam!) I was able to finally ask on the tycho-users list: > This may end up being a very simple answer - or perhaps not :-) > > I have been tasked with updating one of the oldest RCP projects known to man > to the Tycho build system. A number of developers have taken a run at this, > and we have just now managed to arrive on the latest Tycho release, we are > building a product that includes a launcher and so forth. > > There is however one missing bit! The generated artefact does not contain a > dropins folder. > > When releasing manually form eclipse the "Product Wizard" has a checkbox for > "Generate metadata repository" which is how we normally get the "dropins" > folder created. > > Is their a similar trick we need to make to enable this functionality in our > tycho configuration? > > Root: > - https://github.com/uDig/udig-platform/blob/master/pom.xml > > Product: > - > https://github.com/uDig/udig-platform/blob/master/features/net.refractions.udig-product/pom.xml > - > https://github.com/uDig/udig-platform/blob/master/features/net.refractions.udig-product/net.refractions.udig-product.product And more importantly got back a useful answer: > Stéphane Bouchet wrote: > > you have to create a p2.inf file with instructions to creates a dropins > folder : > > instructions.configure=\ > mkdir(path:${installFolder}/dropins); > > Jody
