If you are experimenting with Lua Development Tools source code, you'll certainly be interested in building it by yourself.

Checking out the source code

Building a p2 repository

  • Verify that you have installed Maven 3 properly on your system. See http://maven.apache.org/download.html to get it if you don't have it already.
  • Use your terminal of choice to cd into the root folder of the LDT source tree you've cloned earlier.
  • Run mvn clean package
  • It may take quite a while when running for the first time, but you should end up with a message similar to the following, indicating that everything went well:
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] BUILD SUCCESS
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
[INFO] Total time: 25:01.483s
[INFO] Finished at: Sun Apr 01 14:02:19 CEST 2012
[INFO] Final Memory: 104M/213M
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------
  • The built artifact that'll interest you most is contained in repository/target/repository ; it is a complete p2 repository including your freshly built version of LDT. You can reference this p2 repository location in an Eclipse installation and actually install LDT.

Building a standalone product

Product build is not active by default, in order to build RCP versions of LDT in addition to the plugins, features, and p2 repository, you need to do:

  • mvn clean package -P build-product,platform-indigo
