EclipseLink/Build
Build Requirements
Past requirements used in designing the build
- Need reproducable Build automation quickly
- EclipseLink component builds need to be runnable on other non-eclipse IDEs (IntelliJ, JDev, etc)
- EclipseLink component builds need to be able to execute from either the hierarchical (SVN) tree, or a flat directory structure (all components at the same level
Moving Forward
- EclipseLink needs to shift from the old JEE to OSGi centric organization
- Builds should rely upon the manifest info for compile and runtime dependency info/versioning
- Any given component should build only when the component code changes
- Bundle version info should be updated per actual component build (split marketing and bundle versioning)
- 'Features' should dynamically generate (currently mostly hard-coded)
- Nightly should use same system, or at least not interfere at all with Eclipse/Dev builds
Build Automation
EclipseLink utilizes automated build processes and methodologies for nearly all aspects of build processing. In some cases, like milestone and release publication, the automated processes are manually initiated, while in others, the continuous and nightly integration builds are initated automatically via crontab. This section is dedicated to providing general information about these processes.
Build Schedule
Nightly builds
- Trunk: 12:05a nightly
- 2.1.1: 1:35a nightly
- 2.0.3: 3:05a SuTThSa
- 1.2.1: 3:05a MWF
Continuous builds
- Trunk: On the hour (6a-8p daily)
- 2.1.1: 20 minutes after the hour (6a-8p daily)
- 2.0.3: 40 minutes after the hour (6a-8p daily)
All times are EDT. The cron entries are stored in cron.txt, which can be found in the /buildsystem directory of the trunk branch.
