Common Build Infrastructure
The Eclipse Common Build Infrastructure (CBI) is a combination of technologies and practices for implementing builds of Eclipse projects.
Naturally, the CBI evolves over time. This page captures the current state-of-the-art CBI. Note that there are still many references on the Eclipse Wiki to "Athena", an earlier version of the CBI. While Athena has been very successful for many projects, we have abandoned that effort and little of the remaining material is relevant to the new CBI.

Build Technologies
Hudson
- The Eclipse Hudson instance; and
- Hudson projects using Maven and Tycho.
Maven
Maven 3.0 drives the builds. Projects are expected to provide standard Maven 3.0 POM files for their builds. The builds should be built in such a way that they can be run on the local workstation, or on the Eclipse build server. Note that builds can only be signed on the Eclipse build server.
- Parent Maven POM for Eclipse projects;
- Signing Builds using Maven; and
- Maven repository support at Eclipse.
Tycho
Tycho is focused on a Maven-centric, manifest-first approach to building Eclipse plug-ins, features, update sites, RCP applications and OSGi bundles.
