Description Barys Dubauski CLA 2005-01-18 15:56:02 EST 
1. Launch New Feature wizard to create a sample feature project. 
 - On the "Feature Properties" page check the box: "The feature will contain a 
custom install handler";
 - Type "library.jar" in the "Install handler library" edit box.
 - click finish

2. Double-click the feature.xml file and switch to the "Build" tab.

3. On top of the page (Runtime Information) you will see that library.jar is 
associated with "src/" source folder. It means that any source code from 'src' 
folder is supposed to be packaged into library.jar at the build time. Also, 
the "Include the selected library in the binary build" box should be checked.

4. Now put few java classes under src folder and make sure they are compilable.

5. Switch back to the "Overview" tab of the feature.xml editor and 
click "Export..." 

6. Choose zip file and click finish

PROBLEM: library.jar is not generated neither in the feature project nor in 
the exported zip file. Basically

May I inquire why the severity on this bug has been lowered so much as 
to "enhancement" with lowest priority (P5)? 

This is clearly a broken feature which doesn't produce expected result. 

Thanks.

This is a statement that this bug is not that important (since it has always
been missing since day one :-) and that I'm not planning to fix it for 3.1 (you
will notive the help wanted keyword).

PDE build is currently not actively enhanced.
