Description Paul Webster CLA 2010-06-11 09:47:37 EDT 
When I execute Copy Build Id I get this:

org.eclipse.core.commands.ExecutionException: No build ID in this instance.
	at org.eclipse.ui.internal.ide.commands.CopyBuildIdToClipboardHandler.execute(CopyBuildIdToClipboardHandler.java:40)
	at org.eclipse.ui.internal.handlers.HandlerProxy.execute(HandlerProxy.java:293)
	at org.eclipse.ui.internal.handlers.E4HandlerProxy.execute(E4HandlerProxy.java:56)

Maybe the recent changes we made are preventing the build ID from being generated?

It appears to have worked in I20100607-0856 but failed in I20100610-2220

I'll look into this... I was playing around with some related files the other day.

Fix

Apparently this is a known problem in the .product file editor, that it eats arbitrary properties that it doesn't know about. These files have to be edited by hand with a text editor. See bug 260328 for details.

Kim can you release this fix to the R4_HEAD stream?
Comment 5 Kim Moir CLA 2010-06-11 14:06:43 EDT 
I've released the patch. I have to run a test build now for a signing issue in bug 316056 which will also include this fix.
