[platform-releng-dev] How to install

[mansour77@xxxxxxxxx]

Hi Everybody:
I really need to install eclipse from source. I couldn't find any 
reliable resource to guide me through the process.
I got no answer from the  news.eclipse.org.

I tried to do this but failed:

java -cp ../org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder/startup.jar 
org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main -application 
org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner -buildfile buildAll.xml -Dcomponent=sdk 
-Dconfigs="linux,gtk, x86_64" -Dzipargs=-y -DbuildDirectory=/opt/eclipse

I got this:

Listener listener) {

Please, I need help. I am using fedora 4, and the one installed from 
yum, is not functioning properly. Many plugins are not configured 
properly. I need to install eclipse from scratch.
