Until package-build (a wrapper around PDE Build) supports building
plugins which have no containing feature, you'll either need to spoof up
a feature.xml like eclipse-quickrex -- and offer it to upstream,
please
-- or build like the following but with a spoofed
build/assemble.net.sourceforge.veditor.all.xml (look for another simple
package's generated one for inspiration):
# See attached patch
patch < veditorbuild.patch
ant -f buildjavacc.xml
# This next bit is essentially what pde-build wraps
eclipse -nosplash -Duser.home=`pwd`/home
-application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner
-Dtype=plugin -Did=net.sourceforge.veditor
-DsourceDirectory=$(pwd)
-DbaseLocation=$SDK
-Dbuilder=/usr/share/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build/templates/package-build
-DjavacSource=1.5 -DjavacTarget=1.5
-f /usr/share/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build/scripts/build.xml
