[tycho-user] PDE API description file line endings

[Justin Georgeson]

I'm finding that building my plugins on Windows and Linux the jar files are different due to the .api_description file having OS-native line endings instead of standardized for all platforms. I'd like to have them standardized so that if I do a Maven deploy to Artifactory the file will only be stored once due to them having the same md5.

I know that the apitooling.apigeneration Ant task isn't provided by the Tycho project (since it's part of the PDE project), but I was wondering if anyone has already run into this and has a workaround.

If the .api_description file is committed to git (rather than
generated at build-time), you can ensure correct line endings when
checking it out from source using your git config settings.

The generated one includes the resolved bundle qualifier, so it seems like committing the api_decsription file would have the wrong value (not sure if that actually matters or not). Additionally our experience has been that it's worth it to add a few seconds to the build by generating it so that we can eliminate the human error of forgetting to update the file along with the code.
