Revision as of 13:09, 2 May 2008

This document describes - albeit briefly - how to generate incremental Update Manager site content from nothing more than a ready-to-publish SDK zipfile.

This document will evolve over time. For now, have a look at the following links:

Setup

• README
• scripts folder, containing:

• buildUpdate.sh, where the magic begins
• properties file, properties used by the above script
• build.options.txt, mappings used by the above script

• releng/common/updates folder, code used to generate the jars
• /cvsroot/org.eclipse/www/emft/updates folder, where the site*.xml files are stored in order to add content incrementally

Output

After running the scripts, you end up with XML that looks like this:

http://www.eclipse.org/emft/updates/

And jars that look like this:

If you encounter any problems setting up or running the UM generation code, there's a sample of the build script output with an explanation of what went wrong on the EMFT Procedures document.
