Subversion pde-build plugin / Discussion / Help: Teething troubles with fetch scripts

Stephen Judd - 2007-05-30

I have tried to convert our working PDE build for our RCP product from CVS to subversion using the svn-pde-build plugin, but I haven't got very far.

The build breaks immediately after fetching the map files with this error:

It does not appear in the map file nor in the base location.

The fetch script appears incomplete and has CVS targets in it, as though the CVS Fetch factory ran and then died:

I'm guessing that I have not got org.eclipse.pde.build.svn-1.0.1RC2.zip unzipped in the right place. Right now I see the jar org.eclipse.pde.build.svn_1.0.1.v20070222.jar in $BASEBUILDER/org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build

Any ideas?

  Hello,
  
  I'm not sure what's going on with your build, but have you been able to successfully build the SVN pde-build plugin following the steps described here?
  
  http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=44898&group_id=181297
  
  I found it very helpful to look at the build structure/process of the pde-build plugin itself and then slightly modify it for my own build.
  
  Also, my fetch_*.xml files only contain "FetchFromSVN" calls. Are you sure your map file uses the correct SVN format?

  Hmmm, well that's interesting. No, I can't build as per those instructions.
  
  Since late Feb, there is no startup.jar: see http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Equinox_Launcher. So I had to butcher the commandline slightly.
  
  java -cp ../org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher.jar org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner -buildfile build.xml -Dcomponent=svn-pde-build -DbuildDirectory=build/svn_pde_build -Dbase=build/svn_pde_build_base
  
  But assuming that's ok, I get this:
  
  <snip>
  fetchElement:
  [eclipse.fetch] File not read: ./directory.txt.
  [eclipse.fetch] Missing directory entry: feature@org.eclipse.pde.build.svn.
  [eclipse.fetch] feature@org.eclipse.pde.build.svn has not be fetched.

  Hi
  
  The file org.eclipse.pde.build.svn_1.0.1.v20070222.jar should be in the directory
  $BASEBUILDER/org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder/plugins with all the other plugin jars.
  
  It looks like it could not find the SVN fetch generator so just used the default CVS generator.

  Chris

  Hi Chris,
  
  I am currently having the same problems as Stephen Judd above. I have confirmed that I have properly placed the org.eclipse.pde.build.svn_1.0.1.v20070222.jar in the eclipse basebuilder plugins directory as well as the feature in the basebuilder's features directory.
  
  Here is the error message I am getting:

  Any ideas ? Do I need to set any environment variables perhaps? Also, is 1.0.1 compatible with eclipse 3.4 m6 ?

  Hi Eric,
  
  It looks like the map files were not fetched properly which led to directory.txt not being created.
  
  Make sure the temp build folder is removed and try again.
  
  Hope this helps
  
  Regards
  Chris
