How To Test Autobuild On Local Machine

  1. Checkout org.eclipse.higgins.auto project
  2. Add your new project to org.eclipse.higgins.auto/runtime/projects.xml
  3. Update org.eclipse.higgins.auto/runtime/resourceLocation.xml for cvs repository locations of the project and its depended projects. Also add the remote locations of missing 3rd party libs required for the projects in <remoteLibs> section
  4. Generate build.xml, buildaux.xml, dependencies.xml of the project and its depended project using higgins2ant plugin
  5. If you don't have cvs binary on your machine, download it from internet (windows version can be download from here) and add it to your PATH. You need to restart eclipse after adding cvs binary to PATH.
  6. Right click on org.eclipse.higgins.auto/runtime/autoBuild.xml -> Run As ... -> Ant Build ... -> Classpath
  7. Click on "User Entries" and then click "Add JARs ..."
  8. Add bsf.jar, commons-logging-1.1.jar, js.jar, xercesImpl.jar from org.eclipse.higgins.auto/lib and auto-classes.jar from org.eclipse.higgins.auto/build/lib
  9. Click Run button

Note:

  • If you don't want to run all projects in the org.eclipse.higgins.auto/runtime/projects.xml, create a new xml file with the project that you wish to autobuild and change the following lines in org.eclipse.higgins.auto/runtime/autoBuild.xml with your new file name
 <property name="projectsFileName" value="projects.xml" />
  • Default working directory for autobuild is org.eclipse.higgins.auto/wDir
