hi,
I'm looking into delivering eclipse with subclipse as default and am
not having much success, and was hoping someone might be able to help..
Currently, the idea is to
1) grab an Eclipse image, and unzip it - so have a clean
installation of the Eclipse platform
2) grab a known subclipse build*
3) use the Update Manager API to add a local site to the eclipse
image
*I've tried downloading the "download site" zip file from
http://subclipse.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=2240
and then do something like:
C:\My New Eclipse\eclipse>java -cp startup.jar
org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -application
org.eclipse.update.core.standaloneUpdate -command addSite -from
c:\testls
Command completed successfully.
which looks great - but when I start the Eclipse installation then
Subclipse is not present.
The exact same sequence but with Subclipse replaced with JDT or CDT does
work (The eclipse image I'm working with is the bare platform not the
sdk).
Comparing the unzipped subclipse "update site" with the way JDT and CDT
deliver as standalone components, shows that they deliver in the
structure that is ready to be copied into the eclipse directory of your
eclipse installation. Whereas Subclipse delivers as jar files directly
in "plugin" and "features" directories.
Are there two flavours of local install sites?
thanks,
Andrew
