Hi all -
I'm new and would like to do two things 1) become a contributor and 2)
develop some of my own connectors.
Any pointers more specific around developing in Self-hosting mode would be
great. It reads as though I would have three Eclipse environment build-3.3,
bootstrap and workspace is this correct?
Here's what the documentation says
"Self-hosting
Self-hosting, also known as working bootstrapped (i.e. self-hosted) makes
eating your own dog food easier and avoids having to update to dev builds.
The following is an example of how to set up a bootstrap workspace, using
Eclipse 3.3 on Windows and a C:/Dev workspace directory as an example.
Create a new directory for your build workspace, e.g.: C:/Dev/build-e3.3
Launch Eclipse with this workspace, e.g.:
C:\Apps\eclipse-3.3\eclipse.exe -data C:\Dev\build-3.3
Check out Mylyn from CVS into this workspace, see #Setup
Create a new Launch Configuration:
SelectRun -> Run... -> create a new Eclipse Application.
Call the application Mylyn Bootstrap.
On the Main tab, set the Location
You can use the existing workspace that you used Mylyn with previously
You can create a new workspace (e.g. C:/Dev/bootstrap)
Launching with this launch configuration will give you a second workbench
with Mylyn. This workbench will be created based on the target platform (the
workbench you're launching from) and the plugins in C:/Dev/build-3.3.
Do your development in the runtime workspace (C:/Dev/workspace).
Whenever your changes make it into HEAD that you would like to use, close
your runtime workspace (C:/Dev/workspace), update from CVS in the build
workspace (C:/Dev/build-3.3), and then re-launch your runtime workspace. "

Thanks Maarten.
I have the CVS projects loaded via the workspace setup reference according
to the wiki. I'm not understanding the reference to Self-hosting;
specifically the references to bootstrap, runtime workspace and build
workspace. Does this setup require two workspace setups or three?

Two workspaces are required. The first holds the latest code from head
and it is from this you launch a second Eclipse pointed at your second
workspace that also contains a copy of the latest code from head but
that you actually edit. I hope this helps, although it may sound more
confusing than it is.

Awesome - thank you. That makes sense and help resolve the confusion on my
part.
