[eclipse-dev] Try out the eclipse platform CBI build

[Paul Webster <pwebster@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

With everybody's help, the CBI based platform build is progressing nicely.  It's in good shape for anyone that wants to give it a try. 

The setup steps and build details are captured on http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform-releng/Platform_Build   4.2.2 and 3.8.2 have been our main focus, so we haven't merged the changes into Kepler yet.


An example short list of commands that are needed to get started (it should work fine on java 6 as well):

export PATH=/opt/pwebster/git/cbi/apache-maven-3.0.4/bin:$PATH
export MAVEN_OPTS=-Xmx2048m
export JAVA_HOME=/opt/local/jdk1.7.0_07


LOCAL_REPO=$(pwd)/localRepo

git clone -b R4_2_maintenance \
  ssh://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator.git

cd eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator.git

git submodule init
git submodule update

mvn -f eclipse-parent/pom.xml \
  clean install \
  -Dmaven.repo.local=$LOCAL_REPO

mvn -f maven-cbi-plugin/pom.xml \
  clean install \
  -Dmaven.repo.local=$LOCAL_REPO

mvn clean install \
  -Pno-bree-libs \
  -Dmaven.test.skip=true \
  -Dmaven.repo.local=$LOCAL_REPO
