[eclipse.org-planning-council] Re: Europa RC1 build failed due to DTP

[Bjorn Freeman-Benson <bjorn.freeman-benson@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, sorry about that third problem - that's because the Europa-matic 
stops at the first phase of the build that it encounters errors. Thus 
other build errors in other projects were masking the DTP feature file 
error until all those other problems were solved. I'm already at work 
designing the Ganymede-o-matic for next year that (a) won't have the 
masking problem and (b) will be able to be run on your own development 
boxes/build machines so that you can test the Ganymede build before 
releasing your bits.
