[eclipse-dev] Building from source vs. the pre-built distribution

[Andrew Haley <aph@xxxxxxxxxx>]

The result of building from source is different from a CDT binary that
you download.

In particular:

The released binary doesn't contain all the source files, but instead
zipfiles that contain the source.

Also, the plugin directory names in the released zip file are in the
form

  org.eclipse.platform.source_2.0.0

whereas after the source build they're in the form

  org.eclipse.platform.source

So, some script must have converted the build tree into the form that
is released in the zip file.  Maybe that script is actually in the
Eclipse source tree, but I don't know how to run it.

Can you help?

Thanks,
Andrew.
