The GXExtension Updater Utility uses a xml file (Catalog.xml as default value) to declare the list of dependencies and files to be copied to a GeneXus installation.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Projects>
<Project Name="%PROJECT_NAME%" Location=".">
<!--
The Package assembly needs to be copied to the Packages
folder below the base execution path.
-->
<File Name="%BASE_NAMESPACE%.dll" Target="Packages" />
<!--
Any other dependency (i.e.: other assemblies on which
this package depends) needs to be copied to the
base execution path.
-->
<!--
<File Name="Dependency1.dll" Target="." />
<File Name="Dependency2.dll" Target="." />
-->
</Project>
</Projects>
where:
PROJECT_NAME: references the Visual Studio Project name.
BASE_NAMESPACE: references the Application Assembly name.
For a Pattern project you will need a .xml file similar to the following:
<Projects>
<Project Name="MyPattern1" Location=".">
<!-- MyPattern1 Pattern -->
<Files Name="Instance.xml" Location="Definitions" Target="Packages\Patterns\MyPattern1" />
<Files Name="Settings.xml" Location="Definitions" Target="Packages\Patterns\MyPattern1" />
<Files Name="Pattern.Pattern" Location="Definitions" Target="Packages\Patterns\MyPattern1" />
<Files Name="DefaultSettings.xml" Location="Definitions" Target="Packages\Patterns\MyPattern1\Resources" />
<Files Name="Resources.xml" Location="Definitions" Target="Packages\Patterns\MyPattern1\Resources" />
<Files Name="*.*" Location="Templates" Target="Packages\Patterns\MyPattern1\Templates" />
<Files Name="*.*" Location="Icons" Target="Packages\Patterns\MyPattern1\Icons" />
</Project>
<!-- MyPattern1 Patterns helper assemblies -->
<Project Name="MyPattern1Assemblies" Location=".">
<File Name="Acme.Patterns.MyPattern1.dll" Target="Packages\Patterns\MyPattern1" />
</Project>
</Projects>
The Daily Dilbert project could use the following catalog.xml file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Projects>
<Project Name="DailyDilbert" Location=".">
<File Name="DailyDilbert.dll" Target="Packages" />
<File Name="DailyDilbert.pdb" Target="Packages" />
</Project>
</Projects>
