View source for Common Build Infrastructure/Getting Started/Bootstrapping

If building on build.eclipse.org, the infrastructure needed to do an Athena build is already in place. However, if you want to use a different version of basebuilder or common.releng, or if you want to use a different Hudson instance, you'll need to bootstrap your build in its workspace.

To run a self-contained and automatically bootstrapped build, you need to call [http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.dash/athena/org.eclipse.dash.commonbuilder/org.eclipse.dash.common.releng/bootstrap.xml?root=Technology_Project&revision=1.1&content-type=text%2Fplain bootstrap.xml] from your build.xml script.

 <project default="run">
   <target name="run">
     <ant antfile="bootstrap.xml" target="init">
       <property name="basebuilderTag" value="r35x_v20090811" />
       <property name="commonrelengTag" value="HEAD" />
       <property name="ANTCONTRIB_VERSION" value="1.0b2" />
       <property name="ANT4ECLIPSE_VERSION" value="1.0.0.M3" />
       <property name="build.properties" value="build.properties" />
     </ant>
     ...
     <condition property="JAVA_HOME" value="${java.home}" else="${java.home}/..">
       <available file="${java.home}/bin/javac" type="file" />
     </condition>
     ...
     <property name="build.properties" value="build.properties" />
     <property file="${build.properties}" />
     <ant antfile="${relengCommonBuilderDir}/build.xml" />
   </target>
 </project>

Note that all properties and even the target are optional; to use defaults, simply call this:

 <ant antfile="bootstrap.xml"/>

== Try it out ==

For a working example build, do this:

* Check out project:

 svn co http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/tdesigner/trunk/releng/ teiid-designer-trunk-releng

* Run build:

 cd teiid-designer-trunk-releng; ant

* Wait about 20-25 mins. You should see:

 BUILD SUCCESSFUL
 Total time: 21 minutes 33 seconds

== Run build w/ Hudson ==

* Attach a Hudson instance using a new free-form job, which will run Ant. Here's a [[Common_Build_Infrastructure/Getting_Started/Build_In_Hudson/Bootstrapping/config.xml|sample config.xml]] file you can use as a starting point.
