The process to run a build in Eclipse is getting ever easier.

1. Download a .psf file, such as gef.psf

2. Open Eclipse, and do File > Import > Team > Team Project Set. Browse for the .psf file you downloaded above, and import it. You should end up with three new workspace projects.

org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder
org.eclipse.dash.common.releng
org.eclipse.gef.releng

3. Download ant-contrib.jar 1.0b2 (NOT 1.0b3!) and put it into org.eclipse.dash.common.releng/lib/ant-contrib.jar.

4. Open org.eclipse.gef.releng/build.properties and edit to suit your needs. The following properties must be set:

projectid=technology.foo
zipPrefix=GEF
version=0.5.0
buildType=N
mainFeatureToBuildID=org.eclipse.foo.all
testFeatureToBuildID=org.eclipse.foo.test

# if project is incubating, insert "-incubation" string into all generated zip file names
incubation=-incubation
# if not incubating, set null string
#incubation=

# set path and version of JVM to use; for 1.4, use JAVA14_HOME, for 6.0, use JAVA60_HOME
JAVA_HOME=/opt/public/common/ibm-java2-ppc-50
JAVA50_HOME=/opt/public/common/ibm-java2-ppc-50
dependencyURLs=http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.5M6-200903130100/eclipse-SDK-3.5M6-linux-gtk-ppc.tar.gz,http://path/to/other/required.zip

#what steps should we do? default: build.steps=buildUpdate,buildZips,buildTests,generateDigests,test,publish,cleanup
build.steps=buildUpdate,buildTests,generateDigests,test,publish,cleanup

If you require SVN or do not have the test framework plugins in your map file, you will need this property too, or to perform the equivalent set up manually.

# To permit automatic downloads of non-EPL compatible code, set this to property to "I accept"
#thirdPartyDownloadLicenseAcceptance="I accept"

You can also set other PDE variables and compiler settings, eg.:

compilerArg=-enableJavadoc -encoding ISO-8859-1
flattenDependencies=true
parallelCompilation=true
generateFeatureVersionSuffix=true

More examples here.

5. Select org.eclipse.gef.releng/build.xml, then Run As > Ant Build.

6. A log of the build will appear as org.eclipse.gef.releng/buildlog.latest.txt.
