Dear community,

I'm trying to use releng to checkout Eclipse SDK source from the head
and build it for my Cocoa & x86_64 configuration.
I don't want to build a zip package of this, just build a ditro to help
fixing bugs.

What I've done:
1. Downloaded Eclipse 3.5M6,
2. Get connected to the Eclipse CVS Root repository,
3. Checked out these projects:
org.eclipse.releng
org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder
org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder
org.eclipse.releng.tests
org.eclipse.releng.tools
4. Fixed missing j2ee.jar with mail.jar and activation.jar from Sun,
5. Created an Ant External Tools Configurations item:
Buildfile: org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder/build.xml
Base Directory: org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder
Arguments:
-Dcomponent=sdk
-Dconfigs="cocoa,x86_64"
-Djavacfailonerror=true
-DjavacVerbose=false
-DbuildDirectory=/Users/chris/workspace/build
Ant Target: main [default]

Then I've run this tool and got a error with:
... /headless-build/customTargets.xml:18:
java.net.MalformedURLException: no protocol: ${eclipseBaseURL}

After Googling, it seems that the ${eclipseBaseURL} is the actual URL of
the zip to download. But, I don't want to download a ZIP, I'd like to
build all from source and start debugging.

Is there any tutorial to learn how to debug Eclipse within Eclipse? Is
it the right way to help fixing bugs?

Thank you,
Chris

I'll try to learn a bit more from this post:

Ciao,

To get around that particular error, you can try defining the property
"skipBase=true".

However, it would be simpler to run eclipse and check out the projects
you are interested in from CVS, and run a self hosted workspace (a
default Eclipse Application launcher configuration).
