Re: [ecf-dev] ECF build v2 -- Build easier
|
Hi All,
Although I'm all in favor of people bringing up and discussing build
tools/systems for use specifically for ECF's build needs, I would like
to request that detailed technical discussions about the characteristics
and relative merits of various systems be held elsewhere (on appropriate
project mailing list, or EF wiki page, or other)...and that summaries
(with links if appropriate) be posted here.
Thanks,
Scott

This should alleviate some of the burden of projects have when
setting up builds.
Could you give us some background on what the mission statement is
behind this builder? I've read through the wiki, but it's a bit sparse
and unclear.
How does it integrate with the Eclipse IDE? Can I audit the complete
build process as a developer using the workbench UI?
How does it generate packaging artefacts? What about my .wars and
.ears and whatnot .jars?
How does it do version branding (e.g. for a pure Java project, or a
plug-in for that matter)?
And yey, it's already chuck full of EMF goodness, how much does it
weigh to develop for Athena and to use it? What's the footprint of an
Eclipse instance to write extensions for it, and how much does it
weigh standalone? To give you a reason for my concern, Galileo with
EMF weighs in 367 MB (vs. 162 MB for the classic), and even the
EMFified e4 trial is a whopping 200 MB. Is it me, or is that a 125%
increase in footprint, an amazing more than doubling in size? It
wouldn't be the first project I worked on where people have office
machines which die with something that size. One of the reasons TPTP
is sometimes not an option; just way too big for some of these office
machines you're forced to work on.
Thanks!
Dann
