Build File Syntax on Wiki [message #489972]

Hi,
I elaborated on the previously posted b3 build file syntax and made it
available on the eclipse wiki.

You find it here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_b3/proposals/Build_File_Synt ax

It has been cleaned up, and includes an elaboration on Thomas' suggested
short form for resolvers, and the synchronized proposal.
I also added syntax to allow reference to other build files' advice, and
how to redirect to resolvers in some other build file.

Please take a look.

One area that remains, is that I also want to be able to express things
you can do with the build itself. As an example, you can "import" - but
what is it that is being imported? If the file imports many things, what
are you supposed to execute, once the things have been imported? Are
there choices?

Imagine have the build file in the workspace and you open it's context
menu - what can you do with it? What can you invoke?

I just added string functions to the advice specification.

And now there is a simple (but still realistic) example at the beginning
of the page.

Also addded short notation to materialization options. (No need to
specify a materializer class, when it can be derived from the URI scheme).

Including the simple example here, as I really like how compact and
powerful it is!

----- from wiki page

requests {
org.myorg.myproj.root, eclipse.feature;
}
resolver {
platform:/plugin:/;
platform:/resource:/;
p2:http://www.someplace.good/updates-3.5;
svn:svn+ssh://org.myorg.repo/productx;
}
action buildAll {
org.eclipse.myproj.site#site.p2;
org.eclipse.myproj.packaging;
}
advice {
/requests[name=org.myorg.*]/options {
source=true;
mutable=true;
}
/resolutions[name=org.eclipse.*]/options {
location = platform:/plugin:/;
}
}
