This page provides instructions for building the Eclipse Platform using preferred technologies identified as part of the CBI initiative.

At the moment, this build is a prototype based on a temporary fork of the Eclipse platform repositories. Access is not public yet, but if you'd like to try the build and provide feedback, please contact andrew dot ross at eclipse dot org to request.

Prerequisites

SUN Java 1.6

  • SUN 1.6 JDK needs to be on PATH.
  • Verify correct version of java is used
igor@desktop:~$ java -version
java version "1.6.0_29"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_29-b11)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.4-b02, mixed mode)


Maven 3.0.3

  • Download from http://maven.apache.org/download.html
  • Unpack to a local folder. On *nix, I usually unpack to /opt and create /opt/maven symlink so I can switch between different versions easily
  • Do NOT use maven shipped with your linux distribution.

Maven as shipped in Fedora 16 is perfectly capable of building the platform with the given instructions. Let's not generalize things and negate others work that easily!!! Akurtakov

  • Verify correct maven version is used
igor@desktop:~$ mvn -version
Apache Maven 3.0.3 (r1075438; 2011-02-28 12:31:09-0500)
Maven home: /opt/maven

"natives" p2 repository

This is a temporary workaround until we figure out how to build native binaries and bundles that wrap them.

For Eclipse R3

Download via web browser: natives-m7-r3.zip

 wget http://eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/cbi/natives-m7-r3.zip\&r=1
 unzip natives-m7-r3.zip -d /var/tmp/lts

For Eclipse R4

Download via web browser: natives-m7-r4.zip

 wget http://eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/cbi/natives-m7-r4.zip\&r=1
 unzip natives-m7-r4.zip -d /var/tmp/lts

Build environment setup

review maven settings.xml

To avoid getting hit by bug 365727 and to make sure your local environment configuration does not interfere with LTS build, make sure build user account does not have maven settings.xml

igor@desktop:~$ ls -l ~/.m2/settings.xml
ls: cannot access /home/igor/.m2/settings.xml: No such file or directory


give maven JVM more ram

 export MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx512m

Eclipse 4.x Branch

cloning platform source tree

I setup single platform-aggregator git repository that references all required parts of the platform build is git submodules. The following command clones both the outer repository and all submodules

Read-Only Access:

 git clone -b Juno_M7_R4 --recurse-submodules \
  git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/cbi/platform-aggregator.git R4_platform-aggregator

Committer Access:

 git clone -b Juno_M7_R4 --recurse-submodules \
  ssh://<userid>@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/cbi/platform-aggregator.git R4_platform-aggregator

To update existing clone and all submodules

 cd R4_platform-aggregator  
 git fetch origin
 git checkout -b Juno_M7_R4 origin/Juno_M7_R4
 git pull --recurse-submodules
 git submodule update

running the build

 mvn -f eclipse-parent/pom.xml \
   clean install \
   -Dmaven.repo.local=/var/tmp/lts/R4_localrepo
 mvn clean install \
   -Dmaven.repo.local=/var/tmp/lts/R4_localrepo -Dmaven.test.skip=true

With primed local repository, the build takes about 7 minutes on my 4+ years old linux desktop (core 2 duo @2.8GHz, SSD).

Eclipse 3.x Branch

cloning platform source tree

Read-Only Access:

 git clone -b Juno_M6_R3 --recurse-submodules \
  git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/cbi/platform-aggregator.git R3_platform-aggregator

Committer Access:

 git clone -b Juno_M6_R3 --recurse-submodules \
  ssh://<userid>@git.eclipse.org/gitroot/cbi/platform-aggregator.git R3_platform-aggregator

To update existing clone and all submodules

 cd R3_platform-aggregator
 git fetch origin
 git checkout -b Juno_M6_R3 origin/Juno_M6_R3
 git pull --recurse-submodules
 git submodule update

running the build

 mvn -f eclipse-parent/pom.xml \
   clean install \
   -Dmaven.repo.local=/var/tmp/lts/R3_localrepo
 mvn -f maven-cbi-plugin/pom.xml \
   clean install \
   -Dmaven.repo.local=/var/tmp/lts/R3_localrepo
 mvn clean install \
   -Dmaven.repo.local=/var/tmp/lts/R3_localrepo -Dmaven.test.skip=true

Packaged SDK zip files are located under

  TMP/org.eclipse.sdk.epp/target/products/

P2 repository

 TMP/org.eclipse.sdk.epp/target/repository

Source bundles

 TMP/org.eclipse.sdk.epp/target/repository/plugins

Packaged JUnit Plugin Tests and Automated Testing Framework

 TMP/eclipse-junit-tests/target/eclipse-junit-tests-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-bundle.zip


running the tests

Copy the junit tests and the CBI SDK (pick the one for your platform) that was built to a testing directory. Also unzip the junit tests.

 mkdir -p /var/tmp/lts/R3_platform-tests
 cp TMP/org.eclipse.sdk.epp/target/products/org.eclipse.sdk.epp-linux.gtk.x86_64.tar.gz /var/tmp/lts/R3_platform-tests
 cp TMP/eclipse-junit-tests/eclipse-junit-tests-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-bundle.zip /var/tmp/lts/R3_platform-tests
 cd /var/tmp/lts/R3_platform-tests
 unzip eclipse-junit-tests-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT-bundle.zip

Modify the org.eclipse.equinox.p2.tests.current.build.repo to point to the CBI built repository. (This example uses /home/user/R3_platform-aggregator as the CBI platform root)

 org.eclipse.equinox.p2.tests.current.build.repo=file:/home/user/R3_platform-aggregator/eclipse.platform.repository/target/repository/

Note down the org.eclipse.equinox.p2.reconciler.tests.platform.archive.linux-x86_64= file name for your architecture. (In this example linux x86_64)

 eclipse-platform-201204121421-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

Rename your org.eclipse.sdk.epp-linux.gtk.x86_64.tar.gz you copied earlier to match the name you jotted down.

 mv org.eclipse.sdk.epp-linux.gtk.x86_64.tar.gz eclipse-platform-201204121421-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

Copy your eclipse-platform to eclipse SDK

 cp eclipse-platform-201204121421-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz eclipse-SDK-201204121421-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

Download a copy of the latest released Eclipse Classic from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/.

 http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/

Copy the Eclipse Classic SDK to eclipse-platform

 cp eclipse-SDK-3.7.2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz eclipse-platform-3.7.2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

You should now have 4 copies of the platform, 2 from the latest released and 2 from the CBI build.

 eclipse-SDK-3.7.2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz 
 eclipse-platform-3.7.2-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz
 eclipse-platform-201204121421-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz 
 eclipse-SDK-201204121421-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

Unzip the CBI platform

 tar zxvf eclipse-platform-201204121421-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz

Run the tests

 ./runtests -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86_64
