Platform-releng-sample-project

Sample Releng Project

This document describes the recipe ingredients you need to assemble to run your build in a similar manner to the platform builds. The assumption is that that you have already created plugins and features that you would like to contribute to the build.

Draft - Last updated March 16, 2006. This document is a work in progress, we just moved to a new grouped builds process the week of March 17, 2006

Ingredients

1. CVS, Zip and tar executables.
2. A Linux build machine.
3. JUnit or Performance Test machines.
4. JDKs to compile against and run the build.
5. A runtime and/or sdk feature
6. A test feature
7. A map file project
8. A builder project that includes files to feed PDE Build: build.properties and customTargets.xml, packaging scripts if required
9. Build bootstrap script
10. A master ant script to control the build from start to finish
11. The org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder project from dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse
12. Publishing scripts
13. Infrastructure to distribute your build.

Create a map file project

For example,

plugin@org.eclipse.plugin1=v20060314-0800,:pserver:anonymous@yourserver.com:/your/cvsroot,
plugin@org.eclipse.plugin2=v20060317-0800,:pserver:anonymous@yourserver.com:/your/cvsroot,
plugin@org.eclipse.plugin3=v20060318-1200,:pserver:anonymous@yourserver.com:/your/cvsroot,
feature@org.eclipse.feature1=v20060321-1330:pserver:anonymous@yourserver.com:/your/cvsroot,

Create your builder project

Define build.properties and customTargets.xml to feed PDE Build.

Create your build bootstrap script

Example: Platform-releng-sample-bootstrap

Actual platform bootstrap script is here http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/*checkout*/org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder/Attic/bootstrap.sh?rev=1.1.2.6&only_with_tag=releng_test&content-type=text/plain

Create a master ant script that controls build from start to finish

The platform master script is here...

http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/*checkout*/org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder/Attic/buildAll.xml?rev=1.1.2.7&only_with_tag=releng_test&content-type=text/plain

Check out org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse co org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder

We recommend that you use the latest stable tag. Look here latest stable tag of org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder for the latest stable tag.
