Re: [linuxtools-dev] Rebuilding with Source Modifications

Hi Joel,
We started Eclipse-build to ease building the whole Eclipse SDK, there was no
intention to make it usable for developing a single bundle and testing
modifications.
If you want to modify and test this modifications you would better checkout the
plugin from cvs and start/debug in Eclipse itself. When you have a ready patch
you can add it to Eclipse-build to enhance it.
At least this is the procedure most Eclipse developers are following. I highly
doubt that someone is building the whole SDK when developing/testing changes
in a single plugin.
Hope that helps,
Alex
Yes, that make a lot of sense.
My situation is quite unusual in that I don't plan to develop or use
Eclipse at all. I'm just using it as a test application for a JVM I am
developing. The changes I'll be making to the Eclipse source will mostly
be temporary logging and assertions for debugging purposes.
Anyway, with Roland's help I've found a practical way to rebuild
individual plugins from the command line, so I'll do that going forward.
Thanks for your help.
