Exporting Eclipse Plugins and Features

[Harshad RJ]

Hi all,

With the help of this excellent group, I have been developing an Eclipse Plugin in Scala. The plugin works well and I now need to package it to for my client.

After struggling with packaging for the whole day yesterday, I was finally able to do it with the help of this ant build script by Michel Kraemer:
http://www.michel-kraemer.com/scala-projects-with-eclipse-pde-build-2

I am just wondering if this is the recommended way of packaging plugins developed in Scala? And if it is, the page below should probably be updated with this information:
http://www.assembla.com/spaces/scala-ide/wiki/Eclipse_Plugin_Development_using_the_Scala_IDE

cheers,
Harshad

I just hit upon another blog entry by Michel explaining about the use of Buckminster for building plugins written in Scala:
http://www.michel-kraemer.com/build-scala-projects-with-eclipse-buckminster

This seems less hacky. I haven't tried it yet though. Just thought I should mention it for completeness sake.

We are using Maven and Tycho. You can have a look at the setup of, for
instance, the sdt.core plugin:

https://github.com/scala-ide/scala-ide/blob/master/org.scala-ide.sdt.core/pom.xml

More info on Tycho: http://www.sonatype.org/tycho

A simpler example project than Scala IDE using the same approach, which might also be helpful:

Thanks Iulian and Matt for the responses. I have updated the Assembla wiki page with a mention of Tycho and added links to sample projects:
