Would you guys like to participate in a showcase of the pros/cons of the
three main technologies for building @ Eclipse: Athena/PDE,
b3/Buckminster, Tycho/Maven?

Until all three converge, there will be benefits to each approach, and I
think it might be useful to show people how they differ, what their
histories are (PDE wrapper for on-server headless builds, workspace &
target provisioning + headless building, using Maven/p2 repos for OSGi
builds), and where they're headed.

I'm not sure the best format for such a discussion, but I think we would
certainly want to present three technologies for producing the same
build, and what each one nets you out of the box. We could look at
something fairly simple, like GEF, then something fairly complex, like
VE or ATF, or even one of the deep-chain Modeling builds with their long
stacks of dependencies.

You'd be surprised how many people at EclipseCon *do* attend talks about
build tech. The one that Andrew O, Andrew N, and I did last year was
packed.

As a starting point I've put together a Google Spreadsheet to tabulate
the differences / overlaps.

If you've been copied in this thread, I've invited you to edit the doc.
If you don't have edit permission and would like it, give me your Google
apps address (normally @gmail.com) and I'll add you.

If you want to make way for other technologies which might draw more people that would be cool with me and we can pick a day in the Sonatype room. The general ratio between developers and build & release folks is typically 50-100:1 in most organizations so you might not want to take up a disproportionate number of talks with build & release. We all know it's important but most people are not all that thrilled. For most build & release = snore.

We got a rather fancy build requirement, too where a small RCP launcher acts
similar to what e.g. WebStart/JNLP would do in other scenarios.
So the build system is a modification or PDE/Ant, but we also got elements
ot Athena like Hudson.

I have already submitted the project as such, but I plan a second track on
the various Open Source technologies we not only used but also contribute
back to in the course of this project.
