[gef-dev] Re: Last build on emft.eclipse.org today

OK,

Athena is a non-starter until the JavaDoc generation is fixed. We can tackle these in Helios when the other modeling projects start to take advantage of the new Athena technology.

Cheers...

There are three missing pieces if you want to have the exact same 
experience w/ Athena as you do w/ Modeling:

a) javadoc generation in .doc plugins is broken - I'd argue you don't 
need it if you use Eclipse and install the sources instead. Isn't the 
source navigation in Eclipse (and javadoc view) WAY more useful than the 
canned, generated javadoc in Help?

b) Galileo .build file won't be automatically updated, but you only need 
to do that by hand, what, 4 more times between now and February? (2 RCs 
and 2 GAs). For Helios we'll set something up.

c) Publishing is MUCH simpler. You need a properties file, a boilerplate 
promote.xml, and an entry in your crontab on build.eclipse. C'est tout!

Oh, and until I set up the weekly tag&release automation you use for GEF 
on emft.eclipse as part of the Athena system (see (c) - this'll be 
another crontab entry you control) you'll have to go back to manually 
tagging & releasing from within Eclipse using the releng tools plugin.

But as to setting up a GEF build in Athena, there's already one for 3.5:
