RE: [ve-dev] Re: How to be a contributor to the VE project (was Re: VE Question.)
|
Nick,
I am not sure whether bringing this to your attention is necessary but I thought, what the heck, maybe someone else may benefit from this.
I followed the procedure you set out at http://wiki.eclipse.org/VE/Building#Fetch_Sources.
Everything downloaded correctly. Except for the following exception everything build smoothly.
There are some compilation dependencies in the /org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder project which do not seem to resolve.
1. It depends on a j2ee.jar.
2. Some of the dependencies still reference older/previous versions of jar's (See attached image)
I can resolve all the errors with outdated dependencies by replacing them with others in the plugins folder, but for the j2ee.jar I had to add j2ee.jar to my private library and include it in the project, even though the project seems to reference a j2ee.jar in "eclipsInternalBuildTools". I cannot find this location in the projects.

Yves:
Thanks - does this mean that the HEAD of VE sources will only compile
for Eclipse 3.5 now?
Any comments on encouraging community participation in this project?
