There is not a lot of interesting changes in those files really. It is
basically a ton of:
- <pathelement path="/usr/share/java/jarkata-tomcat-2.5.jar" />
+ <pathelement path="/usr/share/java/servlet-api-2.5.jar" />
I suspect that the previous eclipse-build-generatedScripts.tar.bz2 used
the symlink we deploy in the build dirs. That would be something like:
<pathelement path="../javax.servlet_2.5.0.${qualifier}.jar" />
My fix up was done manually; I never really understood the underlying
tool that generate these files. Unfortunately I need it to work now as
I need to inject a bundle (org.eclipse.osgi.services) in the bootstrap
process.
There is a bug about getting this into eclipse-build; but I am not
sure on the status of it. Particularly it involves throwing out parts
of the bundle and such, but that is a side-track.
If you are really interested in the changes, you can fetch my copy of
the tarball from [1], but I do believe they are not super interesting.
