h4. Making the Platform

This is straightforward most of the time, but could involve some detective work occasionally. I'll do this in bash. This will only work if you are logged in to build.eclipse.org. In this example, I'm creating the platform the 3.5M5 build.

{{{ 1% cd /shared/stp/platforms 2% mkdir 3.5M5 3.5M5/zips }}}

The next step is to populate the 3.5M5/zips directory with the dependencies that the project needs, and this is sometimes where the detective work can come in. If you are supporting other projects, you may need to ask them what the current dependencies are. You need to find the latest milestones of the dependencies. The 3.5 stream platform for STP STP
