Hi fellows,
I just found time to follow the steps in
http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/developers/workspaceSetup.php to set up my
workspace in order to work on Xtext again.
One thing that struck me was why don't we provide a target definition file for
the target platform? This might make the process even smoother (it's already
really smooth, kudos to Dennis, Sebastian and everybody else involved!). I just
created a target definition file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?pde version="3.5"?>
<target name="Xtext Target Platform">
<locations>
<location
path="${workspace_loc}/org.eclipse.xtext.releng/team/targetplatform/eclipse"
type="Directory"/>
</locations>
<environment>
<os>macosx</os>
<ws>cocoa</ws>
<arch>x86</arch>
<nl>en_US</nl>
</environment>
</target>
It looks to me we could easily derive the platform information from
/org.eclipse.xtext.releng/build.properties. Users can then just open the target
definition file and click on the "Set as Target Platform" link to activate this
target platform.
Let me know if you considered this option but dropped it for technical reasons.
Cheers,
Peter
