Eclipse-build aims to ease the building of the Eclipse SDK for Linux distributions.

Prerequisites for building with eclipse-build

  • A 1.6 JDK installed in a standard place (see build.properties)
  • Ant version 1.7.1 or newer
  • bash, sh, perl, sed, below requirements for particular distro
  • At least 3 GB of storage available
  • Xvnc if you want the tests to run and not touch your main display (Debian xvfb version in the works)

How To build Eclipse SDK with eclipse-build released tarballs

If the build finishes without error there will be a build/eclipse-$YOUR_BUILD_ID-fetched-src/installation directory containing a ready to use Eclipse SDK.

Eclipse-build is verified to work on x86, x86_64 and ppc architectures. Additionally, a ppc64 build is provided in Fedora with additional patches which are not migrated to eclipse-build yet. Eclipse-build has been successfully tested on Fedora 11 and Debian unstable.

Optional: ant -DbuildArch={x86 OR x86_64 OR ppc} runTests. Look for test results (a few hours running time) in testResults-<timestamp>/html/org.eclipse.sdk.tests.html.
