Does Subversive provide the "fetch" functionality used by the Eclipse PDE 
Build releng.basebuilder to retrieve source files from a SVN repository?


Michael Valenta

In case it helps, here's a link to the ISV doc that describes the fetcher:

I also noticed that you are hardcoding your your version qualifiers in your MANIFEST.MF files (e.g. 0.7.0.v20080311). Implementing a fetcher is the first step in allowing you to use PDE build and eventually work towards having a manifest that uses a variable for the qualifier (e.g. 0.7.0.qualifier) which would get filled in when the plug-in is built (which would save you from committing a new manifest file every time you want to ship a new version of the plug-in).

Done.
Comment 2 Alexander Gurov CLA 2008-04-15 11:01:57 EDT
P.S.
SVN binaries should be installed as prerequisite.
