Mylyn/Build Infrastructure

This page describes how Mylyn is built and tested and how snapshot and release builds are published.

The Mylyn project uses three Hudson servers with the following major classes of build jobs:

http://ci.mylyn.org/

Hudson instance running on the same server that hosts the test repositories.

Build Jobs

• Provisioning jobs that provision the test repositories
• Weekly version-specific integration builds that build and run all integration test fixtures on all supported Eclipse versions
• Nightly test builds that run one integration test fixture (1 build per connector)
• Nightly mylyn-all-snapshot that runs all integration test fixtures

https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/

Eclipse Hudson server. There is some duplication with jobs on ci.mylyn.org because while those jobs are faster (due to co-location with test repositories) and tend to be more reliable, they cannot publish artifacts to download.eclipse.org and their test results are not linked from release builds.

Build Jobs

• Nightly builds that run one integration test fixture and publish snapshots to http://download.eclipse.org/mylyn/drops/ (1 build per connector)
• Integration build that builds and runs unit tests (no integration fixtures) against all supported Eclipse versions
• Integration-connectors build that runs all integration test fixtures
• Release builds that build and publish releases and trigger the integration builds

Scheduling

Until code freeze (i.e. when release branches are created), the release build for the current release runs weekly, and thus the integration and integration-connectors builds run weekly.

Build Jobs

• Gerrit builds that verify Gerrit reviews

Snapshots

Snapshots are published to http://download.eclipse.org/mylyn/drops/ by the Nightly builds. The Release builds publish snapshots to http://download.eclipse.org/mylyn/snapshots/, which are used to build SRs.

Build Configuration

See Mylyn/FAQ#System_Properties for system properties used to control whether all fixtures are run and whether any are excluded.
