I was doing this and it works fine so long as I stay within Eclipse. The
problem starts as soon as I try to do anything from the command line. Maybe
I am using the wrong build files. My understanding is that everything should
start with org.eclipse.stellation/current.xml. Is this correct?
Jonathan,
The short answer is no.
The current.xml file reflects the former (imho broken) build process.
I am going to put a large warning in it immediately, and apologize that
neither Mark nor I did so previously.
Several of the docs on the Documentation page were marked as "out of date"
on 28 January, and I added a new doc, 'Core Installation', at that time.
That document is currently the most up-to-date. The direct URL is:
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/indextech.cgi/~checkout~/org.eclipse.stellation/plugins/org.eclipse.stellation.core/doc/dev-install.html
I've also posted a patch to build-core.xml (Bugzilla #31589): this is a
major rewrite of an Ant script from summer 2002, and has very little in
common with the version currently in CVS. I would _really_ like to check in
the revised version, but no one has been able to test it yet. If you could
check it out, that would be very helpful.
Revised documentation is attached to Bugzilla #31457 (needs to be checked)
I've also had to fix the Ant test script: stellation.core/test/build.xml
Note that this test will intermittently fail without Mark's recent patch
for timestamps,
which I verified and checked into CVS on Friday.
I would be more than happy to work with you over the next several days to
bring patches and documentation up to date, for both command-line and
Eclipse-hosted builds.
(Mark has also done some work in this area, but he is totally swamped these
days).
Regards,
Jim
