Description Pascal Rapicault CLA 2008-03-07 09:25:12 EST 
With equinox-p2-sdk-I20080305-1100-win32, it is impossible to export a feature.

Steps:
- Create a new feature project (don't even bother adding a plugin or anything)
- Export > features.

You will notice that the finish button of the wizard is never enabled.

I hit this issue with launching last night too... p2 is a pita ;)
Comment 2 Chris Aniszczyk CLA 2008-03-07 10:14:18 EST 
this was caused due to bug 199122 and p2 shipping the delta pack by default
Comment 3 Chris Aniszczyk CLA 2008-03-07 10:23:14 EST 
current workaround is go to the options tab and select multi-platform export and continue exporting
Comment 4 Chris Aniszczyk CLA 2008-03-07 11:28:00 EST 
Pascal, why is the org.eclipse.equinox.executable feature being installed without it's fragment friends? From what I under, org.eclipse.equinox.executable is the name of the new "Delta Pack" feature... when I go and download the Delta Pack for this build, it comes with it along with all its fragment specific friends.

As far as I know, this feature should only be included in the delta pack and not the normal SDK build.

btw, I dropped a fix to make sure PDE can handle the current issue you're having with the Finish button... but it's caused by that feature not having its buddies around.

This is an interim situation until we get our build story in order (hopefully next week). Eventually this feature will not be included.

Could you explain the rationale behind not enabling the "finish" button when the launcher feature is here (or whatever check is done)?

Cool!

The logic was just bunk with the finish button... the code is pretty old and wasn't properly updated when we changed our delta pack story (bug 199122).

We should be good now and when that feature is gone from the main p2 SDK and only included with the delta pack, even better!
