Hello people

I was wondering what the state is at the moment regarding Groovy compilation
within a headless Buckminster?

If it is possible, will I need to migrate my RCP app to Eclipse 3.6, and be
using Buckminster 3.6 in order to setup an automated headless build with
components that are written in Groovy?

Thanks

Hi Greg,

It turned out that there are only some UI-dependencies left to fix in the
Groovy-Eclipse plug-ins. Once these are sorted out, Groovy support should be
ready for prime time. To make installation easier, Andrew may provide a
headless feature if he can find the time to do it. But it's also possible to
install individual bundles into Buckminster, so even without that feature
we're good to go once the UI dependencies are fixed. You can follow our
discussion here: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/GRECLIPSE-716

As to your second question: Your headless Buckminster will definitely have
to be based on 3.6. However, you can still target your RCP app on 3.5.

Greg,

Good news. I just retried installing the Groovy-Eclipse plugins and ran a
few tests. It seems that the UI dependency issues have been resolved. You
can try it out with this command *after* you have performed a regular
Buckminster headless (3.6) install:

../director/director -r
http://dist.codehaus.org/groovy/distributions/greclipse/snap shot/e3.6/ \
-d /path/to/your/buckminster/installation \
-p Buckminster \
-i org.codehaus.groovy \
-i org.eclipse.jdt.core \
-i org.eclipse.jdt.groovy.core \
-i org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.codebrowsing

With this setup I was able to compile Groovy code simply by invoking the
Buckminster "build" command, which invokes the regular Groovy Eclipse
builder. I could also run a launch config that executes a Groovy script
class' "main()" method. Finally, I could successfully run Groovy JUnit
tests.

Cheers,
Achim

Works like a charm.

Thanks
