Eclipse PDE Plugin Export

Question

I have created a plugin for eclipse via PDE. I can try the plugin by running the project as 'eclipse application', no problem so far. However, I want to export the project and I get this error:

C:\\Users\\ErayT\\workspace.metadata.plugins\\org.eclipse.pde.core\\temp\\org.eclipse.pde.container.feature\\assemble.org.eclipse.pde.container.feature.win32.win32.x86_64.xml:88: The following error occurred while executing this line: C:\\Users\\ErayT\\workspace.metadata.plugins\\org.eclipse.pde.core\\temp\\org.eclipse.pde.container.feature\\assemble.org.eclipse.pde.container.feature.win32.win32.x86_64.xml:103: The following error occurred while executing this line: C:\\Users\\ErayT\\workspace.metadata.plugins\\org.eclipse.pde.core\\temp\\org.eclipse.pde.container.feature\\assemble.org.eclipse.pde.container.feature.win32.win32.x86_64.xml:26: The following error occurred while executing this line: C:\\Users\\ErayT\\Documents\\Courses\\Senior_Project\\workspace\\AssignmentGrader\\AssignmentGrader_Plugin\\build.xml:282: The following error occurred while executing this line: C:\\Users\\ErayT\\Documents\\Courses\\Senior_Project\\workspace\\AssignmentGrader\\AssignmentGrader_Plugin\\build.xml:362: Problem: failed to create task or type apitooling.apigeneration Cause: The name is undefined.

The following error occurred while executing this line: C:\\Users\\ErayT\\workspace.metadata.plugins\\org.eclipse.pde.core\\temp\\org.eclipse.pde.container.feature\\assemble.org.eclipse.pde.container.feature.win32.win32.x86_64.xml:103: The following error occurred while executing this line: C:\\Users\\ErayT\\workspace.metadata.plugins\\org.eclipse.pde.core\\temp\\org.eclipse.pde.container.feature\\assemble.org.eclipse.pde.container.feature.win32.win32.x86_64.xml:26: The following error occurred while executing this line: C:\\Users\\ErayT\\Documents\\Courses\\Senior_Project\\workspace\\AssignmentGrader\\AssignmentGrader_Plugin\\build.xml:282: The following error occurred while executing this line: C:\\Users\\ErayT\\Documents\\Courses\\Senior_Project\\workspace\\AssignmentGrader\\AssignmentGrader_Plugin\\build.xml:362: Problem: failed to create task or type apitooling.apigeneration Cause: The name is undefined.

It says there is an error in the file build.xml. Actually there is no file named like this. That is the other strange feedback message I get.

I do not know where to start to solve the problem unfortunately. Those errors do not make sense for me and no idea what really is going on.

Answer 1

I have updated my eclipse with the PDE API tools.
