RE: [platform-releng-dev] 3.0 stream build mechanism changing

[Gunnar Wagenknecht <G.Wagenknecht@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I assume the changes are in org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder and
o.e.r.eclipsebuilder in latest CVS head stream? Where can I find a sample
build script how the build is stared? At least someone must generate build
script, mustn't it?

Thanks, Gunnar

As of the N20030627 build, the 3.0 stream Eclipse builds will start using
the new script generation features of org.eclipse.pde.build
R3_0_early_access stream. 

The main effect this will have for plugin contributors is that feature
owners will no longer need to be informed of plugin version changes.
Feature definitions will automatically be updated with plugin version at
build time.  However feature owners should be informed if plugins are to be
added or removed from a feature defintion. 

Other changes to note: 

1.  Mac OSX downloads now in tar.gz format 
2.  There is now a Mac OSX specific JDT binary download. 
3.  Source build scripts have been modified to the new PDE generated
scripts.  The end result of a source build is an installable Eclipse SDK
runtime. 

The changes in org.eclipse.pde.build are too numerous to mention in this
message.   An initial draft of updates in the build.properties specification
is available here:

Thanks,
