Migrate JBossIDE to Tools 3.x with used="false" mechanism

[moor]

Hello,

for some long time now, I was using eclipse 3.2.2 with JBossIDE 2.0, especially the packaging plugin.

At the moment I am migrating to eclipse 3.7 and for this I have only installed JBoss Archives Tools 3.2 M2, through http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/indigo/ .

With the use of the packaging-converter, the converting from .packaging to .packages went good.

Unfortunally I am not able to find a way to use the mechanism that was provided by used="false". Am I missing something or is this enabling/disabling of jar building not provided anymore in the new version?

If so, is there some way to get this behaviour back?

Thanks!

That's an 5 year old feature  - could you remind me a bit

is this about being able to exclude parts of the packaging without commenting it out or something else?

Yes, you were able to check/uncheck checkboxes for different archives inside one project. When checked (used="true"), than the archive will be build, while unchecked (used="false") the archive will not be build. Actually, making comments in the packages file to exclude parts out of packaging is a solution, but an ungly one: ) E.g. parts that are commented out does not appear in the Project archives view.

To help you to remember, this is an entry in .packaging:

<archive destination="lib-runtime" exploded="false" name="juicystuff.jar" used="true">

<folder ... />

</archive>

sorry - don't think that feature survived.
