You might enjoy backing up your config.xml files so you can reuse them
from one server to another. I've had some good successes creating a
new job by the same name as an existing job on an existing
build.eclipse.org's Hudson, then copying that existing config.xml into
the new server's job directory and restarting the new Hudson. Voila!
Portable configuration, without all the clickety-click and
typety-type.

I'm also working on porting the shell scripts that bootstrap builds on
build.eclipse.org to Ant so that a build can be contained by a single
build.xml rather than a collection of folders (or instructions). It's
a little like the Maven way: check out ONE project, and voom, you can
get everything else you need, hands-free, to run a build.

Let me know if such a script would be of use to you.

The XText / XPand stuff has been particularly trying for the SDK approach because the dependencies were scattered across four different places...so an update required going to each individual site and finding the right links. This last time, one of them didn't even exist, so I decided that I finally had to switch.

And also to be fair, part of my problem is that Hudson is the first time I'm actually doing a real feature based build as I don't do a local PDE build. When just using the SDK downloads its easy to get away with that because as long as you grab a big distribution, you have all the plugin dependencies you might possibly ever need.

Oh well, at least my build is somewhat cleaner now..
