[ecf-dev] Hudson/Buckminster and product-based builds
|
Hi Folks,
Wim Jongman is soon going to be contributing an ECF-based nntp provider,
along with a full RCP Newsreader application. It's likely that we are
going to be building the RCP application based upon an Eclipse product
configuration (.product file)...that will have either a list of plugins
or a list of features, along with other metadata (e.g. operating system
target(s), etc).
This will be the first instance of ECF's build system creating full RCP
application from a product configuration, but probably not the last, as
with this capability we not only can/could build TweetHub and/or other
ECF-based RCP apps, but we could also create Equinox+ECF server
instances using product configurations (for example, the OSGi remote
services examples have product configurations defined for the right
now...i.e. see products directory in the hello examples:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Getting_Started_with_ECF%27s_OSGi_Remote_Services_Implementation
So being able to build from product configuration files will be a very
useful thing for our builder, both now (Newsreader app), and in the
future (Equinox servers...both examples and others).
First, I should ask: Is there new Buckminster documentation on
supporting product-configuration-based builds? Several months ago I
recall some interaction about it, but I thought I would re-ask that
question as things may have changed recently with new Buckminster releases.
I'm sure Markus and/or others will have issues and/or questions to bring
up associated with this thread.
Thanks,
Scott
