Re: [platform-releng-dev] Any tips on which version of basebuilder to us

Hi David

This new R35_M2 version is 3.4M2 plugins
plus a new pde build and a jdt core.

The new pde build is very useful because
it supports parallel compilation and sorts plugins across feature boundaries.

Andrew Niefer's excellent blog posting
describes how to enable this functionality in your builds.

http://aniefer.blogspot.com/2008/10/sorting-bundles-and-parallel.html

The new jdt core is just to disable
additional warnings that were enabled in M2.

I'm updated http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Platform-releng-basebuilder
 to reflect this.

The reason that there is a new convention
for the tag is that I was sitting next to Nick at the build workshop and
he said something like "It would be nice if the basebuilder tags started
with the release number then the milestone name so they would sort better
when you look at the tags."  And I said "Sure, I can do
that".

Subject	[platform-releng-dev] Any tips on which version of basebuilder to        use?

I just happened to check if there was a new tagged version of base builder
I should move up to (for Orbit and/or WTP). 

I noticed there was one tagged with R35_M2, but is it not mentioned in
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Platform-releng-basebuilder

So, I thought I'd ask explicitly if there is a new current basebuilder,
and if there's any particular advantage or benefit to moving to it? 

BTW, not sure if you intended it, but I think the "R35_M2" pattern
is better than the old pattern, which would have resulted in a tag of "M2_35".
 :) 

Thanks, just wondering. _______________________________________________
