[cbi-dev] Building eclipse from source

[Brigham Henry Keys <bkeys@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Can someone point me to some instructions of how to build eclipse IDE from source? I am currently consulting

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform-releng/Platform_Build

I am attempting a ppc64le linux build; hence I am trying to build from source. Unless there is some prebuilt ppc64le linux build of the eclipse IDE; that would be wonderful. I am trying to build the R4_8_maintenance branch but I also tried building master. I follow the steps in the link and I eventually get an error about line 81 in

eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator4.7/eclipse.platform.swt.binaries/bundles/binaries-parent/pom.xml

about this ${toolsJar} variable, it needs to be an absolute path. I'm not sure what to do about it. I changed ${toolsJar} to /usr/bin/jar, and then I get an error about

Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: bundleLocation not found: /home/bkeys/.m2/repository/org/eclipse/orbit/bundles/org.apache.ant/1.10.12-SNAPSHOT/org.apache.ant-1.10.12-SNAPSHOT.jar

Can someone please point me in the right direction of what I am supposed to do?
