I have to admit that I'm inclined to dismiss the issue because they're "just examples". However, regardless of the nature of the bundles, they are still subject to the terms of the Eclipse IP Policy and need to be fixed before I can allow GEF to release. Sorry. ------------------ So four GEF example plug-ins are blocking the entire Helios release. I looked in the source, for whatever reason, we are using: generate.plugin@org.eclipse.gef.examples... Rather than generate.feature@org.eclipse.gef.examples... Like every other feature in Modeling that I have. It has been generate.plugin@ for the entire history of GEF, so not sure when the about.html started disappearing. It was not there in Galileo and nobody noticed. I am going to change the feature.xml and the supporting build files to fix this.
don't forget about zest? Missing about.html in file: org.eclipse.zest.layouts.source_1.1.0.v20100519-2050.jar
(In reply to comment #1) > don't forget about zest? > > Missing about.html in file: > org.eclipse.zest.layouts.source_1.1.0.v20100519-2050.jar OK, I tried a few things and got the examples fixed, will need to do the same with this bundle.
Fixed the bundles and the release build has been re-promoted as R201006161000 . It is still hidden. I have updated the Helios gef.build file.
Thanks Anthony. I'm always late to this build parties. :-)
I had to explicitly add about.html to the src.includes for zest.layouts build.properties to fix the problem. By the way, I did a diff between draw2d and zest features, plugins, build.properties, bla, bla, bla and everything was the same. But somehow zest.layouts needed this magical fix to work. Very frustrating that the builds are constantly this fragile.
