Compile & Build Eclipse from Sourcecode does NOT work!! [message #336778]

Hi there,

I recently wanted to update my eclipseIDE to Ganymede or Galileo
(currently having Europa).

Therefore I loaded the sources and tried to compile the IDE for myself
(target: win32-win32-x86).

While trying the batch-file (build.bat) I ran into the same errors
mentioned earlier e.g. in
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform/msg76 657.html
(snippets of logfile see below)

I do have jdk 1.4, 1.5 & 1.6 on my computer and I added their paths to
the build.properties file as mentioned in the instructions.

Could anybody PLEASE tell me how it is possible to build the eclipseIDE
from the sources (3.4 or higher). Is there an 'How-To' or something
similar somewhere??
I do need to compile the IDE on my own because my current project does
need a patched version of the eclipseIDE-presentation.

Thanks in advance
Alex Haag

Alex,
I can't help with building from sources, but I can offer a different
path that is probably easier and might still meet your needs: it's
called a feature patch.
If you only need to modify a small part of Eclipse, you could start with
a pre-built package and then apply a feature patch (of your own
creation, of course). This article should help get you going:
http://aniefer.blogspot.com/2009/06/patching-features-with-p 2.html

Another option worth trying would be to override the original Eclipse
plug-in (same plug-in ID) and then increase the version number, then
install that version into your Eclipse. It should load the latest
version it finds, which would be yours instead of the original.

Hope this helps,
Eric

Hi Eric,

thanks for your reply. I do indeed have to modify an smal part of
Eclipse. I need to remove the actions added by the
'StandardEditorSystemMenu.java'(org.eclipse.ui.internal.pres entation.util)
from 'org.eclipse.ui.workbench_***.jar'

I'll try your approach with the patch, but I'd rather like to know
(maybe someone knows) how to be able to build the eclipseIDE from the
sources.

Atleast someone should know I hope

Greets and hapy weekend
Alex Haag

org.eclipse.osgi will require a property set for
"CDC-1.1/Foundation-1.1" in the same way you set properties for 1.4, 1.5
etc.

You can probably get away with point this property at 1.4 class libraries.
