Dynamically adding a file to a product archive built by Tycho

问题

Adding a file to a product distribution archive built with Maven/Tycho is possible: see this link

But how can I add a dynamically chosen file to my archive? For example this could be a data file.

The article you linked deals with removing files from a product distribution archive, which can be quite challenging. Adding files to a distribution archive is a lot simpler, and doesn't require any of the low-level p2 hacking described in the article.

In order to add a file to a product distribution archive, include add it as as root files to one of the features included in your product:

1. In the build.properties of the feature build, add a line root=file:target/rootfiles/**
2. Add goals in the pom.xml of the feature build so that the file(s) you want to have included in the distribution archive are copied/added to the target/rootfiles folder during the build. E.g. the maven-resources-plugin or the maven-dependency-plugin could do this.

When the feature with the root files configuration is added to the product, the files you have put into target/rootfiles will end up in the product distribution archive.

In case you have problems with this, you also may have a look at this example project.
