Create ecotj jar from command line / workspace [message #1758145]

Hi Stephan,

I want to create the ecotj.jar from current head from command line or workspace. I am using Oxygen M6 and working on master.

I already found the ant script org.eclipse.jdt.core/scripts/export-ecj.xml which has an export target. When I run "ant -f export-ecj.xml export" it will create a folder ecj-export with holds ecotj.jar. However, when extracting the jar I see that it does not hold any source code.

Is there any prerequisite I did not read or found? In the how to it says everything I did. bug 507370 makes me feel that it is not so easy to fully build the jar.

Thank you very much!

Okay, got it working. The script is not general enough. On my Mac I had to change some things to make it work.

<property name="compiler.apt" value="${build.root.dir}/${jdt.compiler.apt}"/>
...
<property name="compiler.tool" value="${build.root.dir}/${jdt.compiler.tool}"/>

Where it was before

<property name="compiler.apt" value="${build.root.dir}/eclipse/${jdt.compiler.apt}"/>
...
<property name="compiler.tool" value="${build.root.dir}/eclipse/plugins/${jdt.compiler.tool}"/>

and my arguments I give to the ant script are

-Dbuild.root.dir="/Applications/Eclipse Oxygen.app/Contents/Eclipse/plugins"
-Djdt.compiler.apt="org.eclipse.jdt.compiler.apt_1.3.0.v20170110-0830.jar"
-Djdt.compiler.tool="org.eclipse.jdt.compiler.tool_1.2.0.v20161205-0823.jar"

Maybe one could further improve this in the future, as slight changes to the versions will make the build process fail.

Hi Lars,

I'm glad you figured it out.

I haven't used those files for export from the IDE in a long time.
The scripts are adjusted to the directory structure as it exists during production builds.
The good news is: those scripts are indeed used on a regular bases, so no danger for them to silently decay.

In particular on https://hudson.eclipse.org/objectteams/job/buildAndTest/ (not sure this is publically visible) you'd find links to ecotj.jar (plus the corresponding src jar) of each build.

As for the version qualifiers, those are part of the process for adopting a new base (Eclipse SDK) to build against. A jenkins job exists to extract versions from the SDK: https://hudson.eclipse.org/objectteams/job/extractVersions/ the results of which will be stored in /releng/build-scripts/build/run.properties

Since production builds are working OK in this way, I'm not planning to change anything. Hope that's OK.
Stephan
