How to bundle additional files with the installer

If you are using Ant build like myself, I have below listed an example of an addition you can make to the build.xml of the RCP main build.xml

In this example I add the source code of additions or changes I made to JFreeChart to the public domain.  You can try to experiment with this, but it should show enough to give you an understanding where you can find a point to inject files to the build. This could really be any kind of files on your system

Hope this helps

   <target name="build-launchers" depends="suite.build-launchers">
       <!-- Add src of code changed by Eriksfiord and which must go to the public domain
            This will be picked up by the build-zip target-->
       <mkdir dir="${build.launcher.dir}/src/jfreechart"/>
       <copy  todir="${build.launcher.dir}/src/jfreechart">  <fileset dir="${basedir}/../jfreechart/src" includes="**/*.*"/> </copy>
   </target>   

   <!-- Customized build-zip target to copy src code to the distribution -->
   <target name="build-zip" depends="suite.build-zip">
       <!-- Update the just created ZIP with the source we modified -->
        <echo message="Adding source code for public domain modules into the zip distribution"/>
        <echo message="       ... adding ${basedir}/../jfreechart/src"/>
        <zip destfile="${dist.dir}/${app.name}.zip" update="true">
             <zipfileset dir="${build.launcher.dir}/src/" prefix="${app.name}/src"/>
        </zip>
   </target>
