Hi, I would really like to attend but the Colorado Software Summit is the Oct 19-24 so could we stay away from those days? On 4-Sep-08, at 10:35 AM, Bjorn Freeman-Benson wrote: Dashers, I think we're all enthusiastic about the common build but we're all sort of waiting for the first shoe

Dashers, I think we're all enthusiastic about the common build but we're all sort of waiting for the first shoe to drop so that we can jump in and work on things. This is probably my fault for not organizing the effort better. And, worse still, I'm about to take my summer vacation so I'll be of

Hi Nick, I'm CC'ing this to Adrian Skehill who is the Buckminster build-meister. Nick Boldt wrote: Does Buckminster handle JUnit test running, collating, and reporting? Our current approach is to first build, then configure a runtime that contains the JUnit test and then run them. Headless e

In terms of scalability (think same infra, 20+ projects), I'd rather see someone try to build GEF, VE, or PDT than a quickie demo app. We're looking for *project* infrastructure, not *application* infrastructure... at least IMHO, that is. I'm all for Buckminster's use if it makes talking to PDE e

Hello, Wayne. What do you think is the best way to start this? fyi, I sent rather long email explaining objectives of this maven/osgi build tool (we call it "tycho") and its current state to m2e newsgroup few days ago [1]. There is m2e continuous integration build setup at [2], although I do not

No offense taken. :) The "unhacking" you refer to is at this point mostly related to hard-coded path assumptions that were valid on emf.torolab and later on emft.eclipse.org. Once that is made more generic (or, really, once build.eclipse.org's paths are supported), the rest will flow more easily.
