Hello all,

I'm planning to setup a Continuous Integration Environment for my project and I think Buckminster will be a major part of the solution. I want to check one thing first...

Many of my Eclipse RCP Plug-in projects will have dependencies on other in-house jar files that will also build as part of the automated build process. The file names of these jars contain version numbering and may change regularly.

My question is this:

Does Buckminster provide functionality to update each of my Eclipse RCP Plug-in Manifest files whenever a required jar file name is changes as part of the build process?

I'd love some direction because my project team really need to hit the ground running and we'd love to know if Buckminster can be used.

Yes, it does. Typically you won't specify a version in the manifest, or
only specify a lower bound, and then Buckminster will generate a version
range.

I'm having difficulty finding instructions on setting up an Eclipse RCP Headless Build using Buckminster for Eclipse 3.4.

I've found this good link for Eclipse Galileo: http://www.ralfebert.de/blog/eclipsercp/rcp_builds/

But I'm forced to use Eclipse Ganymede. Has anyone been able to do this?

Can Buckminster be used for Eclipse 3.4 RCP Headless builds?

Yes, but,
not sure what you are asking exactly -

You can use a newer Buckminster to build against older targets, and
Buckminster has been around since before Ganymede and did indeed build
RCP apps then as well. Are you asking how to do that?

Or, are you asking if there are special considerations when using a
newer Buckminster to build an RCP app for an Eclipse 3.4 target?

Or, if you tried this, and had problems - what did not work?
