Description Anthony Hunter CLA 2009-04-24 14:29:03 EDT 
When working on Bug 253852 , all of a sudden I started getting extra featre jar files in addition to the jar directories.

% ls -1d eclipse/features/org.eclipse.draw2d.*
eclipse/features/org.eclipse.draw2d.sdk_3.5.0.v20090422-2346-7A7E-8yD4DH8EAJ4EEGH5BC98x42/
eclipse/features/org.eclipse.draw2d.sdk_3.5.0.v20090422-2346-7A7E-8yD4DH8EAJ4EEGH5BC98x42.jar
eclipse/features/org.eclipse.draw2d.source_3.5.0.v20090422-2346-44-7w311A153303457/
eclipse/features/org.eclipse.draw2d.source_3.5.0.v20090422-2346-44-7w311A153303457.jar

I have no idea why this is and cannot identify any reason why this started.

I could not figure this one out.

All I did to fix the issue in the zip files was to add these erroneous feature jar files to the exclude list in the ant tasks in the buildAll.xml

As in:

<zipfileset src="${buildDirectory}/${buildLabel}/${allZip}" dirmode="775" filemode="664" excludes="**/features/org.eclipse.*.jar">
Comment 2 Nick Boldt CLA 2009-04-24 15:06:32 EDT 
I would guess they're generated as part of creating the jars for the p2 repo / update site zip. 

As I'm not clear which zip(s) prompted this bug report, you should verify that all 4 possibly-affected zips don't contain more than you expect:

+ GEF-ALL*.zip
+ the SDK zips (GEF, Draw2D, Zest)
Comment 3 Anthony Hunter CLA 2009-04-24 15:41:31 EDT 
Yes, I cleaned out the feature jars out of *all* of the zips.
