Description Andrew Niefer

If a .product file uses a custom config.ini which uses the simpleconfigurator, then most of the start level information is in a bundles.info file.

The bundles.info file can be provided relative to the config.ini.

However, PDE/Build will copies the .product file to a temporary location to perform version replacements without contaminating the workspace .product file.  In this case, if a custom config.ini is used and specified with a relative path, then we also copy that config.ini to the temp location.  However, we do not copy any accompanying bundles.info, so we will lose this information.

If an absolute path is used to specify the config.ini location, then this extra copying is not necessary and we don't lose the information.

Currently we are not actively enhancing PDE build anymore. Therefore, I close this bug as WONTFIX. 

Please reopen, if you plan to provide a fix.
