Data Tools Platform Project/Build

The official DTP builds are produced by an Eclipse Foundation's Hudson instance.

https://hudson.eclipse.org/datatools/

To build DTP locally, following these steps:

  1. Start with a clean folder, which we will call ROOT
  2. Clone all DTP Git repos into ROOT, such that each repo has it's own sub-folder named using the repository name
  3. Ensure that you have Ant installed and it's on the path (the official build uses Ant 1.9.2)
  4. Ensure that you have JDK 8 installed and it's on the path to run the build
  5. Set JDK_8_HOME environment variables
  6. Ensure that you have a network connection as the build will need to download items to build the target platform
  7. Run "ant dev-build" from ROOT

Once the build completes, you will have the following artifacts:

  1. ROOT/build/repository - the p2 repo
  2. ROOT/build/packages - the zipped copy of the p2 repo
  3. ROOT/dev-eclipse - an Eclipse install with everything necessary to work on DTP
  4. ROOT/dev-target - an Eclipse install with DTP and source bundles for everything
