Re: [wtp-jsf-dev] Running build from behind a proxy server..

[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

No argument here! I suspect those that
run build.xml from releng.build directly use a command something like 

ant -f build.xml -propertyFile ../myproperties/build.properties

And simply "hand edit" that
build.properties file for their machine. (keeping a handy copy in ../myproperties
directory so its not later accidently erased by replacing
releng.wtpbuilder. 
We do something similar in our automated
cruiseControl scripts, but even then do not, as far as I can see, ever
use that particular build.properties file. 
I'm guessing, historicially, its been
left there as a reminder of what's needed to be set, but still up to "local"
user to set. (and, I'm not sure anyone regularly 
updates that file with all the possible
user-setable properties). 

If you find this or similar procedure
works, feel free to submit patches with improved default settings, and/or
instructions or comments, or feel free to update 
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/WTP_Build_Process_and_Procedures

FYI, if you haven't seen recent  wtp-releng
mailing list notes, I am trying to "clean up" releng.control
project .. that is the source of build controling properties and governing
scripts that are used 
in the cruiseControl build loop. Reading
those scripts might just make you dizzy :) ... but, might occasionally
provide some insight into how our build works. 
(Of course, after its all cleaned up,
I'm sure it will be insightful :)

Seems like what is needed is the ability to set the
host and/or proxy 
strings  in the build script via environment variables or similar
so 
that they can be customized by the user without modifying the build 
script itself.  This is the sort of thing we used to do in the old
days 
with C/make/ksh.
