How is Sapphire handled in production builds? [message #668291]

Hey Konstantin,

Max has raised an interesting question about how Sapphire works into a larger integrated build environment such as we have at JBoss. Currently I've checked in my .apt_generated folder into SVN, which will obviously change each time Sapphire rebuilds.

How do you handle it at Oracle? Do you somehow hook the Sapphire code generation into the build process and generate it at build time? Or do you check in the generated code?

Just curious at this point as we investigate how to use it more here...

Thanks!

You don't want to put .apt_generated into source control repo.

See customBuildCallbacks.xml in the samples project for how to build Sapphire code in production. See sapphire.classpath in the script. The build just needs to be able to find Sapphire bundles of correct version somewhere on the system. Typically, I would look in the target platform that your build is compiling against.

Any idea if the customBuildCallbacks.xml will get called from a tycho build? or does that only work with PDE build?

Not sure if Tycho stuck to that system or not. If not, there is bound to be a way to extend project build. It is too common of a scenario for it to not be supported. The contents of the target in customBuildCallbacks.xml are not specific to PDE Build.

I am going to be moving my eclipse plugins to tycho later this month. At that time I'll try to get the sapphire builds working even if I need to modify tycho since as you mentioned it should support the concept of local custom compile tasks.

I'm going to be moving my eclipse plugins to tycho later this month so at that time I'll try to research the custom callback support. If it doesn't have support for that, I agree that type of facility should be added.

Just for closure I have added a wiki page that describes how to add support for the customBuildCallbacks.xml in a maven/tycho build.
