Moving from Export to Headless [message #657512]

Hi,

I have a product that I have been creating by using the Eclipse Product export wizard from within the PDE.This works perfectly and I create my product for Win32/Linux/Mac.

I now need to move it to a headless build that can run from our (Jenkins/Hudson) build server.

I have never had any need to understand Ant, and I was hoping not to have to, but from reading various threads it seem that is the only solution (I don't understand why - the Export wizard does perfectly well without it - at least it find/creates whatever is need behind the scenes)

Can somebody give me a simple guide on what I need to do, so I can get a headless build to do the EXACT same things as th Export wizard?

Thanks!

You want a PDE headless build. See articles like:
http://aniefer.blogspot.com/2008/06/example-headless-build-f or-rcp-product.html

Basically, you are creating a <buildConfig> build.properties and
customTargets.xml and then running the PDE builder, passing in
<buildConfig> as your build dir.
