Platform UI/Build Submission

How to do an Integration Build submission

Prep:

1. It is best to keep an install/workspace around solely for the purpose of build submission. Take the latest milestone.
2. Install releng tools into your eclipse install
   1. go to http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/
   2. pick the build matching your install
   3. scroll to bottom, last section should be titled org.eclipse.releng.tools plug-in
   4. download to your install dir. Note: to verify its installed, start up eclipse, pick a project and popup menu. You should see "Fix Copyrights..."

Steps:

1. Load the modules from CVS (they will be at the bottom)
   1. platform-ui
   2. platform-ui-test
2. Load the project
   1. org.eclipse.releng
   2. Note: the project org.eclipse.ui.carbon will have errors if you are not on carbon. You should have no other errors though.
3. Run the test suites. To do this:
   1. Open up Run->Run Configurations
   2. Under JUnit Plug-in Tests, select each test in turn and run. You can't multi select, so each test is run on its own.
   3. Note: The JFace-All and RCP Test Suite require that the workbench have focus otherwise you will get false errors. Go get a coffee while running these since you can't use your machine.
4. Select all the projects, pop up the menu and pick Team->Release...
5. Check the "Generate Build Notes" option at the bottom of the dialog.
6. Only take ui.map
7. Click on the generate Build Notes button
   1. Note: build notes file is in org.eclipse.ui/buildnotes_workbench.html
8. Select all text and paste into your mailer. Later, use this text to send an email to platform-ui-dev@eclipse.org notifying of build submission.
9. Type "Submission for X" where X is the date/time for the corresponding build
