Building the platform binary [message #160996]

Hello Eclipsees:

I got the Eclipse sources (eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-2.1.2.zip)

What ant target do I run to get the equivalent of the Eclipse Platform
Runtime Binary ?
(Is that possible at all ?)
If I just execute the default target it builds Eclipse on the same directory
structure as where the sources are. It also builds the whole Eclipse IDE...I
just want to build the platform.

I want to be able to get the equivalent to what is distributed as the
Eclipse Platform Runtime Binary in a separate directory. (And of course,
with many plugins removed.), and be able to add my owns features and
plugins.

Maybe I need to give more details on what I want to do:

I want to build Eclipse with Ant. (The sources already include the Ant
scripts) but I haven't found any target that would let me build the
equivalent of the Platform Runtime Binary.

The Ant build process builds Eclipse in the same directory structure as
where the sources are....making hard to know what has been actually produced
by the build and what was already in the sources, also I don't know what
files/directories are reuquired by the runtime platform.

If I have to build the Platform Runtime Binary...I would need to know what
to filter and copy into other directory to later zip it....I believe that
sicne the Runtime Binary is posted in the website, someone have already
written an Ant script to build it!!

Any pointer to the right Ant target or where to find the right Ant build
script are appreciated.

I want to do exactly the same thing and would appreciated some hints
as well.
