Re: [babel-dev] Build configuration for babel plugins

[Martin Reiterer <martin.reiterer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Denis,

configuring the tycho build was much easier than working with PDE Build. 
Moreover, it allows to configure a target platform without the need of 
downloading delta-packs. Great!

Now I've configured our new tycho based build at hudson: 
https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/babel-tools-indigo/

Please, can you guide me through the process of publishing our artifacts 
on the build server?

thx,
Martin
