Description Sergiy 2014-04-02 12:02:30 UTC

Webos is Yocto based project https://github.com/openwebos/build-webos plugin cannot detect it as Yocto based project. Also there is no import project ability as it usually performed in Eclipse. If import project in Yocto plugin way by creating new project with existing code, still the plugin cannot detect it. How should we resolve it?

Hi Sergiy,

I cloned the OpenWebos meta data directory and found out its directory structure is not even close to what a Yocto Project meta data directory looks like. The bitbake commander type of project is tightly coupled with the Yocto Project meta data directory structure, basically you need the oe-init-build-evn file since the code logic will use it to build the bitbake keywords map, also the OEFile system will parsing the directory layout to only import the meta data to the bitbake commander project.  If you chose to use clone function, it'll use the yoctoproject git repo instead of any arbitrary meta data repos.

If you need to bring in OpenWebos into eclipse IDE, you probably have to model our bitbake commander code to implement the plug-in since we have extremely limited resource for our Eclipse plug-in maintance and only focusing on Yocto Project direct support needs.

Thanks,
Jessica
