MemoryAnalyzer/Building MAT With Tycho

Introduction

This page is describes how Memory Analyzer p2 repository and RCP applications can be built using Maven/Tycho.

Prerequisites

Maven Installation

The Memory Analyzer build requires a Maven 3.0.* installation. It is already present on the Hudson server at Eclipse. For local build one can download it from here http://maven.apache.org/download.html.

Proxy Settings

If you need to set proxy for Maven, a snippet like this can be added to the Maven settings file:

 <proxies>
   <proxy>
     <active>true</active>
     <protocol>http</protocol>
     <port>8080</port>
     <host>myproxy_host</host>
     <nonProxyHosts>non_proxy_hosts</nonProxyHosts>
   </proxy>
 </proxies>
