# Checkout org.eclipse.higgins.auto project at /trunk/builds/ from https://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/technology/org.eclipse.higgins SVN repository
# Generate build.xml and dependencies.xml of the project and its dependent projects using [[Higgins2Ant]] plug-in
# Run generated build.xml with all targets you want to use in nightly builds
# Right click on org.eclipse.higgins.auto/runtime/autoBuild.xml -> Run As ... -> Ant Build ... -> Classpath
# Click on "User Entries" and then click "Add JARs ..."
# Add '''bsf.jar''', '''commons-logging-1.0.4.jar''', '''js.jar''', '''xercesImpl.jar''', '''xml-apis.jar''', '''html-tools.jar''' from ''org.eclipse.higgins.auto/lib'' and '''auto-classes.jar''' from ''org.eclipse.higgins.auto/build/lib''
# Click Properties tab, un-select "Use global properties as specified in the Ant runtime preferences", click "Add Property ...". Set Name = ECLIPSE_HOME and Value = <path to your eclipse installation folder> (e.g. C:\eclipse)
# Click Run button

Note:
* Make sure you are using JDK 1.4 because build machine is using JDK 1.4
* There are several useful properties which you can use to customize default behaviour of the autobuilder:
*# '''projectId''' - this property is useful if you want to run build for single project. By default autobuilder run build for each project defined in org.eclipse.higgins.auto/runtime/projects.xml. To run autobuilder for single project specify '''projectId''' property with value of your project id (e.g. org.eclipse.higgins.configuration.api).
*# '''buildDirectory''' - this property is useful if you want to test your projects prior to commit them to SVN. By default autobuilder ckeckout projects and their dependencies from SVN repositories to org.eclipse.higgins.auto/wDir/bDir directory. To test projects prior to commit them specify '''buildDirectory''' with value pointing to workspace with your projects.
