Re: [dash-dev] IDE builds with Athena?

[Miles Parker <milesparker@xxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, I've been thinking that I need to define a product for my (overall) project, but I've been avoiding it. I don't actually think of it as a product but I guess that's the only way to package it, short of manually building Eclipse IDE instances for each platform. :O 

This is getting OT for list, but anyone have ideas about what the simplest approaches are using existing tools? Obviously I'd prefer fully automated but I can live with some manual steps.

While a product build is a feature build on steroids, it has it's own complications that can occur. Initially I think this is out of the scope of Athena, but is definitely in scope for projects like Buckminster.

I'm thinking that it makes the most sense to do this in two stages, i.e. build the zips using normal hudson build, and then package that into IDE builds somehow. Pardon the ignorance, but the release infrastructure is a little opaque to me. I suppose I could use the RCP tools for a local build..(http://wiki.eclipse.org/Building) but I wonder if there isn't a fairly OOTB automated solution out there..
