Installation of Desktop Search fails on mac with the following exception: pre. Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: Mylyn Desktop Search (Incubation) 3.7.0.I20111019-1902 (org.eclipse.mylyn.sandbox.search.feature.group 3.7.0.I20111019-1902) Missing requirement: Mylyn Desktop Search (Incubation) 3.7.0.I20111019-1902 (org.eclipse.mylyn.sandbox.search.feature.group 3.7.0.I20111019-1902) requires 'org.eclipse.mylyn.sandbox.search.ui.windows [3.7.0.I20111019-1902]' but it could not be found
Steffen, any suggestions on how to deal with this? What I've got now is the following structure: * Desktop Search Feature @/org.eclipse.mylyn.sandbox.search-feature@ ** Search API, Default provider @/org.eclipse.mylyn.sandbox.search.ui@ ** Windows-specific search provider @/org.eclipse.mylyn.sandbox.search.ui.windows@ I'd like to have a single feature for people to choose on the update site, but have the Windows-specific plug-in only be installed on Windows. I don't see any easy way of doing this. From what I can see we have the following choices: * create two features with the same name, and use platform filters to make only one of them show up in the p2 install software wizard * keep the single feature format, but only specify the platform-independent plug-in and add an optional bundle dependency on the windows-specific plug-in (is there a way to make it greedy?) Neither option sounds all that great to me - ideas?
I should have looked at the PDE editor for features... it's right there in the UI bc. <plugin id="..." os="win32" arch="x86" .../>
That sounds right. We had problems building features that specified platform filters for plug-in in the past but recent Tycho versions may support that better.
The build succeeded, however I'm still seeing the following error on Linux: pre. Cannot complete the install because one or more required items could not be found. Software being installed: Mylyn Desktop Search (Incubation) 3.7.0.I20111020-1706 (org.eclipse.mylyn.sandbox.search.feature.group 3.7.0.I20111020-1706) Missing requirement: Mylyn Desktop Search (Incubation) 3.7.0.I20111020-1706 (org.eclipse.mylyn.sandbox.search.feature.group 3.7.0.I20111020-1706) requires org.eclipse.mylyn.sandbox.search.ui.windows [3.7.0.I20111020-1706]' but it could not be found Works fine for me on Windows. Any ideas?
looks like this was PEBKAC... I just didn't push the right changeset. It's up and working now, installable on Linux confirmed.
