I'm interested in building EDC headlessly. It has dependencies on cdt.* and ideally I would want a single maven command to build both cdt and edc. Is there any way of doing this?
I ended up doing this by pointing the edc build at the p2 repo generated by the CDT build. So you'd have to mvn build CDT first, then TCF, then EDC. Is there a better way?
I'm also worried about making reproducible builds. Concretely: with the PDE based build + map files, I build all of CDT + my plugins from a tag or HEAD. The base platform was just Eclipse classic extracted from a tar on disk (and some basebuilder stuff which I untarred for the releng). There was no dependency on the 'net.
I'm convinced that in 1 years time I can make the same build I make today. How can this be achieved using maven + tycho? The build references the indigo repository, doesn't that require the repo never to change or break, or even have upgraded content?
Any thoughts?
Cheers,
James
