Re: [eclipse-dev] building eclipse from source

["Dean Roberts" <Dean_Roberts@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Tom,

Thanks for the offer of help.

Source builds will appear with the next build.  I would think this will be with tonight's nightly build or Thursday's integration build at the latest.

Since many of the build.xml files are autogengerated by Eclipse PDE we will be providing pre-canned build scripts that match each build we post on Eclipse.org.  This being the case we will also be providing build scripts to reproduce the 2.0 release.

We need to be able to build from source.  In fact, we had already
started investigating writing our own build scripts when I saw your
note.

Would you expand on your response a bit?
I'd like to know the current state of the build scripts.
How much code exists?  What needs to be done?

Is there something we can do to help?  If we had more of an idea of
the state, and a better way of coordinating, we could probably have
someone start helping right away.

Tom
