Creating and Running a Headless Build
This section contains instructions on creating a headless build.
Prerequisites
The following prerequisites must be met before you start creating the build.
Eclipse
- Install Eclipse SDK
- Install the subversion PDE build plug-in.
You can find it here: SVN PDE Build
NOTE: When making a remote build you need to fetch items (?) from SVN. - Download the zip file, org.eclipse.pde.build.svn-n.n.nRCn.zip.
Ant
Install the latest Ant build (currently, the version available is 1.7) and include it into your path.
You can find the latest version here: Apache Ant
SVN
Install the latest version of the SVN client (currently, the version available is 1.5).
You can find the latest version here: Subversion

About the Build Process
The build process is divided into two main stages. This is done for performance reasons. The first stage involves the following steps:
- Generate the third-party bundles
- Create an update site and store these bundles there.
- Upload the update site into the Swordfish download area
NOTE: The last step only needs to be done when changes occur. For example, when you create a new bundle, remove an obsolete bundle or create a new bundle version.
The second stage involves the following steps:
- Create the Swordfish site.
- Create the corresponding Swordfish update site.
Detailed instructions are provided in the following sections.
Check Proxy Settings
If you want to run the build scripts within a firewall, ensure that you enable the proxy settings.
For example, add the -autoproxy parameter when you run the ant scripts.
NOTE: The ant scripts use your default system proxy settings.
You also need to ensure that your SVN client is enabled to access the Swordfish Repository via your proxy.
Creating a Third-Party Build
This is the first stage of the Swordfish build process, that is, creating the third-party builds.
To successfully create and run the third-party build:
- Check out the following projects from the Swordfish SVN Swordfish SVN +<version-to check-out, for example, trunk.
- org.eclipse.swordfish.build
- org.eclipse.swordfish.bundles
- org.eclipse.swordfish.third-parties/org.eclipse.swordfish.third-parties.site
