Eclipse PDE build fails to find jar location on customAssembly

Question

I'm running a PDE build - pretty much defaults ( see at the end of the message ) which manages to copy all my plugins/features, resolve them, compile them and generate p2 metadata.

At the customAssembly step it fails misteriously with

BUILD FAILED
/home/robert/apps/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build_3.5.0.v20090527-1800/scripts    /build.xml:38: The following error occurred while executing this line:

Strangely enough, there is a jar file located in the /tmp/eclipse.build/tmp/eclipse/plugins/ directory:

/tmp/eclipse.build/tmp/eclipse/plugins/javax.xml.soap_1.3.0.v200904281458.jar

I'm out of idea since this is supposed to be a completely automatic process, but yet it fails misteriously.

Any ideas?

Brave souls can take a look at the project in svn for more information.

I believe you are hitting this bug.

As a workaround, try adding unpack="false" attributes to your com.itsolut.mantis_feature/feature.xml for the binary jar'ed plugins you are including (ie probably most of the javax.* bundles).
