If you can bring me automated build of this stuff i'll be singing and praising ,)
Oops. I hope expectations are not raised too high. Although I've constructed auto build environments before, this is the first for me of eclipse plugins. I will bring notes and discussion to this mail list as I proceed.
sounds good.
I have revised abit because I found an eclipse page that describes how to do this with an existing tool in eclipse: PDE BUILD <http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder/readme.html?rev=HEAD#configs>. I will attempt to conform to this framework. What I had shared with you fits into this framework, I think. I'll keep you posted as I proceed.
will await what you find.
I don't know if you have noticed that i have recently added org.hibernate.eclipse.feature and org.hibernate.eclipse.updatesite to cvs - two things that also would be great to automatically build (I even thing the .feature is actually what is meant to be called head-less)
I noticed feature but not updatesite yet. I'll make sure they are dealt with. I will document how to add new plugins to the build list. I assume these are plugins....right?
They are PDE projects yes (feature is a thing that combines plugins, and updatesite is the
one that generates a site which can be used within eclipse to perform updates)
I was also assuming the plugin autobuild would be run after autobuild of hibernate, other non-plugins in HibernateExt (console, metadata, whatever); that the plugin autobuild would point to finished autobuild of these. Are these already autobuilt? If not, then should that be in scope here? Personally, I think that is a big chunk to chew off at once and will stick with plugin autobuild in the nearterm.
Just make the plugins autobuildable - the other projects are trivial in comparison
(and they can be built with ant now, so no need for doing that right now)
