I just use the JIPP to build with Maven/Tycho, so when an Eclipse instance + workspace is needed (eg., when running tests) Surefire handles that.
No need to manually do anything.
But if you DO need to fetch an Eclipse tarball and unpack it, it's pretty simple to do so via a shell script.

Why not use a folder like ${WORKSPACE}/eclipse ? Why do you need a variable for that?
Hi James,
Have you received a reply to this?

Thank you Ahmad.

Please subscribe to this mailing

Question for cbi-dev and
webmaster,
My colleagues and i are working
to set
up a Jenkins build server for the STEM project at eclipse.org.
We are new
to this so thank you in advance for your help and patience.
Questions:
1) It seems the server that
was set
up for us is missing the Eclipse workspace.
Is there documentation on how we create this or would the
webmaster have
to do it (or should we reopen our Bug ID:
537115
?
2) Also, how do we find or set
the
Eclipse Home variable on the server.
fyi our build server is
here
Requesting Jenkins Build server for Eclipse
STEM project
http://www.eclipse.org/stem/
The STEM Command line build
process
that we need to run on Jenkins uses an Ant build script
There is doc on the STEM command
line
build process here.
https://wiki.eclipse.org/STEM_Releng#Running_the_STEM_Builder
https://wiki.eclipse.org/STEM_Releng#Launching_the_Builder_from_Command_Line<--- these are the steps we need to get running on
Jenkins.

Re: Next steps
to setting up Jenkins
Hi Jamie,
I tried yesterday to setup the setting of STEM Build at the
Jenkins from
eclipse.
There is no workspace assign to stem project, can the admins
of this server
provide one to the project?.
The other thing, I need to know is the Eclipse home on the
server, because
our Ant build script need it.
Best regards,
Ahmad Swaid

Hi Ahmad,
Thank you very much!
fyi Jenkins itself is installed on the server they assigned to
us. You
can
log in with you Eclipse credentials here:
The STEM JIPP is now setup at
https://jenkins.eclipse.org/stem
If we are missing any plugins I can reopen our GIT issue and
the Eclipse
webmaster will fix that for us.
I looked to some tutorials and found the following links. I
hope some of
them are good.

Hi Jamie,
I'm fine. I hope you're good also.
what I have done in the past is running the build from command
line using
Ant commands, and that worked fine.
I have already started to make this build achievable by in
Jenkins. but
since I have no precious experience in Jenkins,
I still struggle.
It will be very nice of you, if you recommend a tutorial (a
good one)
about Jenkins.

Greetings Ahmad,
... the first think we should do is to make sure the command
line
build script runs stand along for the e4 branch. He said
before doing that
we should make sure we are running the very latest version of
Eclipse with
the latest plugin updates.
There is doc on the command line build process here.
https://wiki.eclipse.org/STEM_Releng#Running_the_STEM_Builder
https://wiki.eclipse.org/STEM_Releng#Launching_the_Builder_from_Command_Line
<--- get these steps working first, then you'll be able to
get it going
in
Jenkins.
from Matt....
The hardest part of command line / headless builds is you
should not be
using the Eclipse install you use for development because all
the packages
it has installed interferes with what needs to be a fully
deterministic
and repeatable process when creating what you distribute. The
version
of
Eclipse used to build the package should be vanilla, as
downloaded from
Eclipse. Even the delta pack was never installed in it, it's
externally
referenced.
Once we have the command line build working it should be no
problem to
get
it working on Jenkins.
