The project you need to check out for XSL builds is:

releng.incubator

This contains the xsl.map file that is used by the build system to 
generate the builds.

When you want to tag files for an I-Build, I do the following:

1.  Make sure all of the xsl plugin source files are checked out into 
the workspace.
2.  Right click on the releng.incubator project.
3.  Select Team->Release
4.  Select the xsl.map file from the releng.incubator project.
5.  Select all entries in the xsl.map file.
6.  Next-> then Select the Tag drop down box and select the first entry 
which should be the current date.

Next just follow the rest of the prompts.  I typically enter a message 
saying this is an integration build.

One thing I try to do, is make sure that I've synched my local workspace 
with what is in the repostiory including the releng.incubator project.   
This way I know I have the latest code and then I try to run the test 
suite to make sure everything is running correctly.   This helps keep 
the build clean.


I haven't tried to run a full build locally, but would be interested in 
knowing as well, where those ant scripts are located, as I may need to 
setup some local builds for some testing purposes on eclipse builds I'm 
working on.

David Willilams typically makes this happen when we are ready for a 
milestone to go to the public.   He can describe this better than I though.
