Eclipse RCP Tycho - Unzip the exported product

Question

We have automated our Eclipse RCP build using Maven/Tycho. The exported zip, that contains all our product's files, is located under ../target/ in the project's folder. However we'd like to automatically unzip the zip file and (if possible) move it to another build directory. So the current file structure looks like this:

SampleProject
|__target
   |__SampleProduct.zip

and we would like to have it like this:

C
|__Export
   |__SampleProject
      |_SampleProduct (unzipped)

Is that possible?

Answer 1

The tycho-p2-director-plugin already creates what you are looking for, in the materialize-products step, right before the archive-products step that creates the ZIP files.

You will find the unzipped products below target/product/$productId/$os/$ws/$arch, e.g., in target/product/org.example.product/linux/gtk/x86_64.
