Description Ryan Dunn

Build Identifier: 20100218-1602

The required bundles.info file is not generated when you specify a custom config.ini file.  If you have the product export wizard generate the config.ini, then bundles.info is generated.

It looks like in ProductGenertor.generate() if you have specified a custom config.ini, then createConfigIni() is not called, and it's in createConfigIni() that printSimpleBundles() is called that generates the bundles.info

I'm able to work around this on my headless build by specifying in the .product to generate a config.ini and copy over the one I need in my product as a post build step.  However, an export from the GUI is a bit more cumbersome as this is a manual step that must be done each time. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a product config that uses a custom config.ini
2. Use the Export Product Wizard to export the product (I don't use generate metadata repository)
3. See that the required bundles.info is not created

Can someone please make sure this problem is fixed in 3.7? The fix looks straight-forward.

@David:
Obviously, that didn't happen (i just tried with 3.7.2 Build id: M20120208-0800). You probably should have provided a patch...

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.
