How To Test Autobuild On Local Machine

{{#eclipseproject:technology.higgins}}

1. Checkout org.eclipse.higgins.auto project at org.eclipse.higgins/trunk/builds/ from https://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/technology SVN repository
2. Add your new project to org.eclipse.higgins.auto/runtime/projects.xml
3. Update org.eclipse.higgins.auto/runtime/resourceLocation.xml for cvs/svn repository locations of the project and its dependent projects. Also add the remote locations of missing 3rd party libs required for the projects in <remoteLibs> section
4. Generate build.xml and dependencies.xml of the project and its dependent projects using Higgins2Ant plug-in
5. Right click on org.eclipse.higgins.auto/runtime/autoBuild.xml -> Run As ... -> Ant Build ... -> Classpath
6. Click on "User Entries" and then click "Add JARs ..."
7. Add bsf.jar, commons-logging-1.0.4.jar, javasvn.jar, js.jar, svnant.jar, svnClientAdapter.jar, svnjavahl.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
8. 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)
9. Click Run button

Note:

• Make sure you are using JDK 1.4 because build machine is using JDK 1.4
• If you don't want to run all projects in the org.eclipse.higgins.auto/runtime/projects.xml, specify -DprojectId=<your project id> VM argument on JRE tab.
• Default working directory for autobuild is org.eclipse.higgins.auto/wDir.
