Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Need help publishing builds

[Jesse McConnell <jesse.mcconnell@xxxxxxxxx>]

its a royal pita for someone not indoctrinated to 'the eclipse way'

there are some ant scripts floating around that do all of the heavy
lifting, look for the athena common builder I think it was...I don't
have the link handy but those can get you going with the packing and
signing stuff (you'll need your account flagged as a signer so you
have access to the machine with the eclipse private key, webmaster can
help with that)

for jetty we use tycho and we wrote a maven plugin to manage the
process of packing, signing, repacking and updating checksums in
artifact.xml stuff.

so if your using maven Hugues and I can probably help you get going
with that, otherwise look for the athena goop.

cheers,
jesse
