Take for instance a plugin project, which is using libraries from a linked
folder (defined as a directory "commonlibs" in the root of the plugin project).
The build.xml and classpath are generated just fine and the project compiles.
However, multiple problems appear :
- when running a workbench with the plugin in question Eclipse seems to have
lost track of all jars referenced from the linked folder. Only jars really
existing into the project are visible.
- as expected, the generated Ant task does not seem to understand where the
commonlibs plugin is pointing. I was expecting a replacement of the linked
folder name with the real path, then the creation of a "commonlibs" directory
containing the referenced jars in order to include it in the plugin archive.
Thus, usage of linked folders proves un-useable for PDE build process.
Workbench running correctly would be a bare minimum, and a custom Ant script
could eventually fix the second issue.
