Hi
First of all I would like to congratulate the PDE and p2 teams for the
great enhancements in PDE build 3.5. I am now able to build by just
giving my target as some p2 repositories instead of having a huge flat
set of plugins.
So here is my question: We have some components that are reused in
different products. These components are being built by our cruise
control system and the results are placed into a p2 repository. When
building the final product it would be nice to use the pre-compiled
artifacts instead of building them again. In order to make this happen I
added the repository to the build repositories (ie the new kind of
target platform) but PDE build is still fetching source from cvs and is
not using the pre-compiled plugins (see for example the generated
build.xml in such a plugin). I suspect that this comes from the fact
that these features and plugins have entries in the map files. Am I
doing something wrong? (I could supply more details if necessary)
Another question: If using of pre-compiled artifacts in this sense is
possible, what would be the best way to go for integration and release
builds? Nightly-builds that use the HEAD revisions of all constituents
can also use the newest artifacts from the repository but for the other
kinds of builds one usually uses maps that select specific revisions
from cvs. There should be an alternitve so that specific pre-compiled
versions could be fetched from a p2 repository. I'm aware of the "p2IU"
kind of map entry which allows to get a specific version from a p2 repo.
For my purpose it doesn't work since I'm using the same map for the
build of the reused component on the one side and the final product on
the other.
Thanks for any ideas
Peter
