Installing RSS Guard 4.5.1: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you experiencing issues with building an Eclipse plugin? If so, you're not alone. I recently encountered a similar problem while trying to build the PDE plugin using a zip file from 'instal RSS Guard 4.5.1'. In this article, we'll explore how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue.

The Problem

When attempting to build the Eclipse plugin, I received an error message stating: 'Problem: failed to create task or type eclipse.generateFeatureAction: Check that any custom tasks/types have been declared. Action: Check that any / declarations have taken place. It .UnknownElement.getNotFoundException(UnknownElement.java:499) it .UnknownElement.makeObject(UnknownElement.java:431)'.

Resolving the Issue

To resolve this issue, I followed a few simple steps to ensure a successful build of the Eclipse plugin. Here's how:

1. Check Custom Targets: The first step was to review the custom targets in the `customTargets.xml` file located at `/vagrant/linux-sgx/Linux_SGXEclipsePlugin/build_config/customTargets.xml`. This file defines the custom tasks and types used during the build process.

2. Verify Build Script: Next, I checked the build script (`build.xml`) located at `/vagrant/eclipse/plugins/_3.9.100.v20150521-1524/scripts/build.xml` for any potential issues or errors.

By following these simple steps, you should be able to resolve the issue and successfully build your Eclipse plugin using 'instal RSS Guard 4.5.1'. Remember to carefully review both the custom targets file and the build script to identify and fix any potential problems.
