Linux Tools Project/Eclipse Build/Inner Workings
Given an archive with Eclipse SDK sources Eclipse Build will extract the sources and remove all the pre-built OSGI jars, but collects all the OSGI metadata (contained in MANIFEST.MF files). Then Eclipse Build tries use jars provided by the system, verifying that versions match the OSGI information provided in the eclipse sources archive.
Removing Prebuilt Jars
Searching for System Jars
The following Java files are used to define ant tasks which perform the version verification and symlinking of the system jars
