can't build update site using tycho when use root.folder

I'm trying to build an update site using tycho. This update site includes one feature. When I tried to build the update site it was built successfully.

But in the feature I want a certain file to be exist inside the eclipse root after installation of this update site.

So I wrote this in the build.properties file in the feature: 

root.folder.try = file:try.exe

But it gave me a build error.

I packaged the update site using eclipse-repository and the feature using eclipse-feature.

The build.properties entry root.folder is not supported. However you easily get the same effect with the an root entry:

  1. Create the folder you want in the installation as folder in your sources (in your example try/)
  2. Move the file you want to have included into that folder (in your example try.exe)

  3. Create a root build.properties entry which includes the folder. Example

    root=try

When installing the feature that has the build.properties into an Eclipse installation, the try/try.exe will be automatically installed.
