Before, you needed one configuration file per platform.

JAVA_HOME=/opt/public/common/ibm-java2-ppc-50
JAVA14_HOME=/opt/public/common/ibm-java2-ppc-50
JAVA50_HOME=/opt/public/common/ibm-java2-ppc-50
JAVA60_HOME=/opt/public/common/ibm-java2-ppc-50

Now you can still hardcode values, or use the defaults from Eclipse or Hudson.

JAVA14_HOME=${JAVA_HOME}
JAVA50_HOME=${JAVA_HOME}
JAVA60_HOME=${JAVA_HOME}

Before, you needed one configuration file per platform because you depend on a given Eclipse SDK.

dependencyURLs=http://.../eclipse-SDK-3.5.1-linux-gtk-ppc.tar.gz

or

dependencyURLs=http://.../eclipse-SDK-3.5.1-win32.zip

Now, depend on an update site and properties will work on all supported platforms.

repositoryURLs=http://.../eclipse-Update-3.5.2-201002111343.zip
IUsToInstall=org.eclipse.sdk.feature.group

or

repositoryURLs=http://download.eclipse.org/releases/helios/
IUsToInstall=org.eclipse.sdk.feature.group

Before, because you needed have one properties file per platform, you could set these in build.properties:

localSourceCheckoutDir=C:/workspace/org.eclipse.gef.tree
localSourceCheckoutDirExcludes=**/archive/**
# For windows, must be explicit about paths using correct 
# slashes (/); dirs with spaces should be avoided
relengBuilderDir=C:/workspace/org.eclipse.gef.releng
relengBaseBuilderDir=C:/workspace/org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder
relengCommonBuilderDir=C:/workspace/org.eclipse.dash.common.releng
writableBuildRoot=C:/tmp/build

Remove the values set in build.properties, as they are now computed and should not be needed.

Now, set this in an optional build.local.xml file so it won't conflict with the server's "build from maps" version. This additional step is only needed if building from local sources; otherwise build.xml will work without modification on local or in Hudson!

<property name="localSourceCheckoutDir" value="${basedir}/.." />
<property name="relengBuilderDir" value="${basedir}" />

or

<property name="localSourceCheckoutDir" value="/path/to/dir/A />
<property name="relengBuilderDir" value="/path/to/dir/B" />

• Sample Bash job: config.xml

• Sample Ant job: config.xml

• Under Build click Add build step > Execute shell.
• Enter this configuration:

export PROJRELENGROOT='-projRelengRoot :pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/dsdp'
export PROJRELENGPATH='-projRelengPath org.eclipse.tm.rse/releng/org.eclipse.tm.releng'
#export SNAPSHOT="true"
# run the build
. /opt/public/cbi/build/org.eclipse.dash.common.releng/hudson/run.sh

• Under Build click Add build step > Invoke Ant.
• Set targets = run or leave blank to run default.
• Click Advanced button
• Define path to your build.xml script relative to job's workspace, eg. org.eclipse.tm.rse/releng/org.eclipse.tm.releng/build.xml.
• Define these properties:

relengBaseBuilderDir=/opt/public/cbi/build/org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder
relengCommonBuilderDir=/opt/public/cbi/build/org.eclipse.dash.common.releng
#SNAPSHOT="true"

• In your build.properties file, use build.steps=test for Linux, or build.steps=test for Windows/Mac.
• Curse when tests fail unexpectedly due to X server DISPLAY port collisions (two or more builds using the same DISPLAY).

• Under Build Environment, enable option Run Xvnc during build.
• Use build.steps=testLocal for all platforms
• Rejoice when tests pass w/o DISPLAY port conflict!
