Description Thomas Hallgren

The PDE builder has support for generating a .api_description file that is included at the root of the bundle jar file. This behavior is controlled by adding:

generateAPIDescription=true

to the build.properties file. Since this is standard PDE behavior, it would be good if Buckminster supported this option too.

Comment 1 Thomas Hallgren

Support added. When Buckminster encounters a generateAPIDescription=true in the build.properties file, it will insert a call to an ant-task that in turn calls the PDE apitools.apigenerate task to create the description. The description is then included in the jar.content group which is a prerequisite for bundle.jar action.

Fixed in trunk, rev 11780.

I think this one needs a doc issue...
