To be specific, if my eclipse install dir is /usr/local/eclipse-32/,
does the eclipse:make-artifacts goal deploy everything under
/usr/local/eclipse-32/plugins/? Or does it copy just the eclipse
runtime? (if so, how does it know what to take?)
If it copies just the runtime, I understand why the RCP must be
deployed in addition.
If it copies everything, then deploying the RCP may not be neccessary,
if RCP has been installed in the eclipse installation first...?
The make-artifacts goal only copies the plugins. It does nothing with
the runtime.
To build your RCP application you need an Eclipse Target Platform,
which is best created separately from your Eclipse Install. This
allows you to be using Eclipse 3.2 for the build process but Eclipse
RCP 3.1 for the application you are building.
The steps "Add the Eclipse RCP artifacts to your internal repository"
deploy the base target platform into your internal maven repository.
These can then be downloaded into your local m2 repository and
unzipped during the "Create an Eclipse RCP Target" step.
