Headless Build for Custom Builder [message #334260] Thu, 29 January 2009 16:22

Hi All

I have the following problem: I have written a custom builder/nature for
Eclipse, which allows incrementally building a 'custom langugage'. This
all works quite nicely and was relatively simple.

Now we require this build to be able to be run headlessly though. However,
the currently written build infrastructure has dependencies to various
Eclipse IDE concepts, e.g. resources, projects, the 'workspace
functionality'. At the moment I only see two (not so much appealing)
solutions:

a) Write a custom 'Eclipse Application', which starts the Eclipse IDE
(without any UI), creates an empty workspace somewhere, loads the poject
to be built 'headlessly' into the workspace, triggers the build and
terminates the entire crap once the build is finished.

b) Remove all dependencies to any of the used Eclipse concepts from the
current implementation (in some way), enabling it to run as a simple Java
application.

Big question is now: Which path to take? Are there any alternatives or
better solutions to this problem?

I would be greatful for any advice (or examples!).

Thanks in Advance & Kind Regards
Alex
