Building eclipse headless when CVS is not available [message #331828] |

Hello together,
at our company we want to learn how to build an own RCP app headless and
how to automate tests. I found this article for:
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-PDE-Automation/autom ation.html
A first step is to build an eclipse component headless. Unfortunately I
cannot use CVS here as the firewall is blocking it. From my computer at
home I checked out the necessary CVS sources. Now I wanted to start the
build, but there stills seems CVS necessary.
Is there any chance to build eclipse when CVS is not available? The
required sources should already be available on my disk.
Or is there another way? My final target is to have a small own RCP app
with unit tests and a build setup that allows to build and test the
application headless and automatically. Until now we built our RCP apps
only from within the Eclipse IDE.
Thanks for any help.
Best regards,
Steffen

Yes, there is no requirement that your sources are supposed to be
fetched by CVS or other means. The default values of the properties
skipBase=true
skipMaps=true
skipFetch=true
of the build.properties file already match your use-case.

Take care for jar packaged in a plugin, which is deployed as a jar, see
the thread "Curiosities in headless feature build" in
eclipse.platform.rcp and bug
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=157375
otherwise most problems are solvable.
