Note
that I am not looking for a
build system. There are many choices in this field and I
already have a working
build, including a Hudson job. Now I need the part that will
publish the build
once it is completed on Hudson. The next steps should not be
dependent on the
build system that was used to produce the zips.
I
need to go from this:
https://build.eclipse.org/hudson/job/fproj-2.0/64/
To
something like this:
http://www.eclipse.org/gef/downloads/

There is no need to re-invent the wheel. The Athena Common
Build project
is here to help, as it is the build solution we recommend to
our new
projects. You can start here:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Athena_Common_Build
There's also an IT Infra doc which may be helpful. Of
course, since there
are many moving parts to Eclipse.org, it makes for a long
doc.

Has there been anything written that
explains this stuff in
detail? Let’s assume that the audience is Java developers with
Ant or
Maven experience, but not necessarily skilled in *nix systems
or php.
I’ve seen some references to “login to server x and setup a
cron
job”, which is frankly not very helpful for project teams
without a
dedicated releng person with admin background. Exact steps
would be needed for
everyone else.
This is a barrier that Eclipse Foundation
should work on
eliminating. There is no reason for every project to be doing
this themselves
and partially re-inventing the wheel in the process.
Strangely, as someone who is skilled in *nix systems and
php, but not in Ant or
Maven, my casual observation is that project teams tend to
reinvent the wheel
when it comes to build. Some folks use Athena, others, Ant,
Maven, Tycho,
Buckminster, PDE Build, b3, or countless combinations of
those technologies.
Personally I find it difficult to author a document when I
don't know the
starting point.
If I can help here in any way, please let me know.
Investing this time
into improving Athena Common Build would be my preference.
