[eclipse.org-architecture-council] Better documentation for building Ecl

[Wayne Beaton <wayne@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey folks.

I've been chatting with some folks from one of the Technology projects 
about creating an automated build. AFAICT there is very little 
documentation around that discusses how one goes about setting up an 
automated build at eclipse.org.

I did find a page on the wiki [1] that seems to be a reasonable start at 
it, but it needs some serious love. I've started to give it some 
attention, and thought that I'd invite others to provide their own input.

Is anybody aware of better documentation that describes the build 
process with PDE Build using build.eclipse.org with pack200, JAR 
signing, and update-site creation support?

I realize that the Common Build Infrastructure work is ongoing in the 
Dash project, but my sense is that there's still quite a lot of work to 
do before wholesale adoption can begin.

Thanks,

Wayne
