1. Does Athena support building from a target _without_ the Eclipse-SDK (i.e. only RCP+Equinox SDKs) ?
No, not currently.
Background: I've been successful using Eclipse+Equinox as shown here: dependencyURLs=http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.5.1-200909170800/eclipse-SDK-3.5.1-win32.zip,\ http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/eclipse/equinox/drops/R-3.5.1-200909170800/equinox-SDK-3.5.1.zip but with the RCP+Equinox dependencies: dependencyURLs=http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/eclipse/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.5.1-200909170800/eclipse-RCP-3.5.1-win32.zip,\ http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/eclipse/equinox/drops/R-3.5.1-200909170800/equinox-SDK-3.5.1.zip I get the following error: C:\tmp\workspace\org.eclipse.dash.common.releng\tools\scripts\getDependenciesHelper.xml:78: java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: ${eclipse.SDK.url} I've set the properties eclipse.SDK.url and eclipse.SDK.file - which resolves this. However this will result in the eclipse SDK beingunzipped into the build directory (which to me seems the same as putting it into the dependencyURLs). I would like to avoid this. Any workaround?
The problem is that to run the build you need PDE. Does the RCP zip contain PDE? If not, then there's no way this will work, even if I convince the URL parser that "eclipse-RCP" is a valid prefix for a zip we'll call ${eclipse.SDK}.
Doing so is fairly trivial, and I can easily do so for you if you want Athena to allow eclipse-RCP-*.zip as a drop-in replacement for eclipse-SDK-*.zip. I'm just worried that you need things in the SDK that aren't available in the RCP zip. Convince me I'm wrong and I'll make this change.
2. Some of the examples I've looked at use these properties and some do not. What do they do? Are they still used? projRelengRoot=:pserver:anonym...@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/rt projRelengPath=org.eclipse.riena/org.eclipse.riena.build3
