Description Thomas Hallgren CLA 2011-04-12 07:43:01 EDT 
Information about generateAPIDescriptor build.properties option can be found in the Eclipse help. I haven't found any good documentation on the generated .api_descriptor just yet.

+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #342370 +++

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.
