Build Identifier: I20100527-1700 I have a headless build that fails with the following exception: [21:43:01+0000/wct/package.all/exec] /home/belina/sandbox/WASX/WSC/ws/code/wct/packager/package.xml:64: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String incompatible with org.eclipse.pde.internal.build.site.BuildTimeFeature Caused by: java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String incompatible with org.eclipse.pde.internal.build.site.BuildTimeFeature at org.eclipse.pde.internal.build.AssembleConfigScriptGenerator.generatePermissions(AssembleConfigScriptGenerator.java:984) at org.eclipse.pde.internal.build.AssembleConfigScriptGenerator.generateAntZipTarget(AssembleConfigScriptGenerator.java:960) at org.eclipse.pde.internal.build.AssembleConfigScriptGenerator.generateArchivingTarget(AssembleConfigScriptGenerator.java:377) at org.eclipse.pde.internal.build.packager.PackageConfigScriptGenerator.generateArchivingTarget(PackageConfigScriptGenerator.java:213) at org.eclipse.pde.internal.build.AssembleConfigScriptGenerator.generateEpilogue(AssembleConfigScriptGenerator.java:700) at org.eclipse.pde.internal.build.AssembleConfigScriptGenerator.generate(AssembleConfigScriptGenerator.java:135) at org.eclipse.pde.internal.build.packager.PackageScriptGenerator.basicGenerateAssembleConfigFileTargetCall(PackageScriptGenerator.java:63) at org.eclipse.pde.internal.build.AssembleScriptGenerator.generateMainTarget(AssembleScriptGenerator.java:124) at org.eclipse.pde.internal.build.AssembleScriptGenerator.generate(AssembleScriptGenerator.java:55) at org.eclipse.pde.internal.build.packager.PackagerGenerator.generatePackageScripts(PackagerGenerator.java:56) at org.eclipse.pde.internal.build.BuildScriptGenerator.generateFeatures(BuildScriptGenerator.java:253) at org.eclipse.pde.internal.build.BuildScriptGenerator.generate(BuildScriptGenerator.java:112) at org.eclipse.pde.internal.build.tasks.PackagerTask.execute(PackagerTask.java:90) .... The packager.xml line in question is: <eclipse.assembler featureList="${featureList}" workingDirectory="${workingDirectory}" configInfo="${config}" baseLocation="${tempDirectory}/${featurePaths}" packagePropertyFile="${packagingPropertyFile}" deltaPack="${deltaPack}"/> (Previously my headless build was failing due to bug 314550, and I just recently picked up I20100527-1700 to try out the fix) Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: This occurs in a local build environment for an IBM WebSphere tool, so I'm not sure how to provide steps to reproduce. I can provide any additional information requested if the information in the Details section is not sufficient.
Sorry, I'm not going to be able to fix this for 3.6. The RC4 candidate is already built. This does not affect normal users of eclipse (ie export from workspace), this only affects old style package.xml builds. Regular feature and product builds are not affected. I would suggest such old builds can stay on 3.5. While this particular problem appears to be a one line change, the code is complicated and not covered directly by unit tests. And I'm not confident that there aren't more changes needed. If required a fix can be delivered to IES post 3.6, similarly the releng basebuilder can be patched as well.
I'm OK with waiting until 3.6.1 (the current Target Milestone this bug is set for) as we need to move to 3.6 for the additional platform support. In the meantime, could a patch in the form of a class file or jar be provided? I'm willing to test this out, in the efforts to verify whether this does indeed fix the problem or if more changes are needed, to make some headway before 3.6.1.

Thanks for the patch. I've tried this out and it looks to be working OK for me, not hitting any failures in the headless build any longer.
I have released the patch & test to HEAD for 3.7 nightly builds. (bug 316339). The 3.6.1 stream won't be open for a little bit yet.

done in 3.6.1
