Content / MacOS does not exist in 4.5.2

Question

I am trying to upgrade my project from eclipse 3.8.2 to eclipse 4.5.2. When I create my project using the pde assembly, I get the following error. \ Content \ MacOS does not exist.

This part worked perfectly with the earlier version.

I updated java SDK, delta pack to 4.5.2

More details:

C:\p4root\common\build_templates\eclipse_pde\build.xml:144: The following error occurred while executing this line: [exec] C:\eclipse4.5.2\plugins\org.eclipse.pde.build_3.9.100.v20150521-1524\scripts\productBuild\productBuild.xml:45: The following error occurred while executing this line: [exec] C:\eclipse4.5.2\plugins\org.eclipse.pde.build_3.9.100.v20150521-1524\scripts\build.xml:129: The following error occurred while executing this line: [exec] C:\p4root\myproject\dev\build\myproject\configuration\customTargets.xml:29: The following error occurred while executing this line: [exec] C:\eclipse4.5.2\plugins\org.eclipse.pde.build_3.9.100.v20150521-1524\scripts\productBuild\allElements.xml:20: The following error occurred while executing this line: [exec] C:\eclipse4.5.2\plugins\org.eclipse.pde.build_3.9.100.v20150521-1524\scripts\genericTargets.xml:195: The following error occurred while executing this line: [exec] C:\p4root\myproject\dev\build\myproject\base\package.org.eclipse.pde.build.container.feature.all.xml:27: The following error occurred while executing this line: [exec] C:\p4root\myproject\dev\build\myproject\base\package.org.eclipse.pde.build.container.feature.all.xml:15: The following error occurred while executing this line: [exec] C:\eclipse4.5.2\plugins\org.eclipse.pde.build_3.9.100.v20150521-1524\scripts\productBuild\allElements.xml:35: The following error occurred while executing this line: [exec] C:\p4root\talon\dev\build\myproject\base\package.org.eclipse.pde.build.container.feature.macosx.cocoa.x86_64.xml:92: The following error occurred while executing this line: [exec] C:\p4root\myproject\dev\build\myproject\base\package.org.eclipse.pde.build.container.feature.macosx.cocoa.x86_64.xml:1555: C:\p4root\myproject\dev\build\myproject\base\tmp\eclipse\Contents\MacOS does not exist. 

Any help will be indicated

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Eclipse 4.5 is packaged as a Mac OS X application. Although the name appears as eclipse , the actual name of the eclipse.app directory is. So you need to change your path to the end using eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS

Answer 2

Finally, I came up with a workaround. I added the pre.archive to cusstomAssembly.xml , which moves the files to the desired folders:

 <target name="pre.archive"> <condition property="is.macosx"> <equals arg1="${config}" arg2="macosx.cocoa.x86_64"/> </condition> <!-- Do only for OS X --> <antcall target="move.macosx.files" /> </target> <target name="move.macosx.files" if="is.macosx"> <copy todir="${eclipse.base}/${launcherName}.app/Contents/MacOS" verbose="true"> <fileset dir="${eclipse.base}/../MacOS" /> </copy> <copy todir="${eclipse.base}/${launcherName}.app/Contents/Resources" verbose="true"> <fileset dir="${eclipse.base}/../Resources" /> </copy> <move file="${eclipse.base}/${launcherName}.ini" todir="${eclipse.base}/${launcherName}.app/Contents/MacOS" verbose="true" /> <replace file="${eclipse.base}/${launcherName}.app/Contents/MacOS/${launcherName}.ini" token="tmp" value="../.."/> </target>

The second workaround is to use Eclipse 4.4 Luna instead of 4.5+. More about this here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=468131
