PDE headless build using features fails with optional plug-ins

Question

Hi there,

We are build a huge set of plugins using ANT pde build script for features (not product). We are using the Eclipse 3.5 version and have one plugin that uses optional dependency. The feature including this plugin does not include the optional dependency but the optional plugin is present in the plugin folder during build.

the build fails when compiling the class using this optional dependency. We have tried to set the property filteredDependencyCheck to false but it still fails. Does anybody have an idea ?

thanks.

SeB.
