SWT/Native Builds on Foundation

SWT Native Builds are run on the Eclipse Foundation Infrastructure.

The Jobs are on the Releng HIPP and can be seen in the SWT Natives view (https://hudson.eclipse.org/releng/view/SWT%20Natives/)

The SWT Native build has been broken down into multiple steps. There are separate jobs for each of these steps and they run in a sequence automatically.

Sequence of the jobs:

Step1: 1-SWT-Increment_if_needed

Clones the SWT source and binaries repo and checks the java compilation. Checks for source and native changes in the repo. If there are no changes in the repo, then the Build exits at this step. If natives_changed = true, then jobs to build the SWT libraries are triggerred. 1. SWT-native-build 2. win32_x86, win32_x86_64, gtk_linux_x86, gtk_linux_x86_64, cocoa_x86_64, gtk_linux_ppc64, gtk_linux_ppc64le 3. swt-collect-libs

Step2: 2-SWT-Commit_Binaries_and_Tag

Generates and Writes the qualifier to pom file source and binaries repo\ Commits the changes in source and binaries repo Tags the commits

Step3: 3-SWT-git_push

Pushes the commits in source and binaries repo to remote

Build Schedule

1-SWT-Increment_if_needed job is scheduled to run automatically everyday before the I-build. Here is the schedule:

• schedule for milestone week and RC phase
  • 0 7 * * 7,1,2,3,6
  • 0 19 * * 5,7,1,2,3
  • 0 12 * * 6
• regular I-builds
  • 0 19 * * 1,2,3,4,5,7
  • 0 12 * * 6

Manual Build Input

To do a SWT build input, go to Job 1-SWT-Increment_if_needed - https://hudson.eclipse.org/releng/view/SWT%20Natives/job/1-SWT-Increment_if_needed/ and build now. This will automatically run all the other jobs and push the changes/tags to the repos.

Force Build Natives

1-SWT-Increment_if_needed job will exit if there are no changes in the repos for a new build. And if there are no changes in the source repo that require native build, then natives will not be built. To force native build in this case, pass -Dbuild_changed=true -Dnatives_changed=true while executing target <new_build_with_create_file>.
