Since version 1.5, RAP is built on the public build server at Eclipse.

Hudson Builds

Build jobs at the Eclipse.org Hudson:

• rap-1.5-runtime
• rap-1.5-tools
• rap-1.5-incubator

The base directory for our builds is /shared/rt/rap on build.eclipse.org.

Nightly Builds

We produce a p2 repositories from our nightly builds:

• http://download.eclipse.org/rt/rap/nightly/runtime/
• http://download.eclipse.org/rt/rap/nightly/tooling/

These p2 repositories are updated by a cron job:

/shared/rt/rap/scripts/1.5/updateNightlyBuilds.sh

This job is run by rsternber's crontab.

Procedure for Milestone builds

• Prepare new base platform in /shared/rt/rap/base-platforms (see HOWTO file)
• Configure pom.xml files to include the new base platform
• Build runtime and tooling with BUILD_TYPE S for stable builds (these will be signed)
• Add tag to git repositories
  • Use annotated tags, pattern: 1.5.0-Mx-YYYYMMDD

Publishing

• Finalize New & Noteworthy
• Update web site: builds.xml and arrivals sidebar
• Scan Bugzilla for open bugs that are targeted at the milestone or bugs that are still open but solved, verify target version of closed bugs
• Notify the newsgroup
• Announce via Blog
• Re-deploy demo applications (in oder to demonstrate the new features from the milestone)
• Update rap/latest-stable/{runtime/tooling} repositories to redirect to new repo (for compatibility with 1.4 tooling)
• Update rap/targets/ files

Procedure for release builds

additional steps to do when creating release builds

• ensure version numbers in bundle manifests
• ensure legal files (see [1])
  • check that about.html are included in source build
• update infocenter content and links to infocenter from project home page
• update help plugin
• Check copyright year and version number of JavaDoc (search for "JavaDoc" in org.eclipse.rap.releng/tooling/customTargets.xml)
• Move old builds to archive (dev.eclipse.org:/home/data/httpd/archive.eclipse.org/rt/rap/downloads), update archive page
• Update the RAP-tooling entry in the Eclipse Marketplace and in the Yoxos Marketplace. They should point to the latest release. (Beyhan)
• Redirect rap/latest-release/{runtime/tooling} repositories
• notify newsgroup and mailing list
• use the portal to review project metadata that is displayed in the "About this Project" page (i.e. update release train name in description text)

• Check notice.html and epl-v10.html files for updates
• Make sure notice.html and epl-v10.html files are included in the download zip files (see bug 347659)
