Re: [eclipse-dev] Lightweight M1 for September release
My workflow is similar except that I don't update but perform clean install every day.
 
1) Download & unzip latest SDK from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/ 
2) Start Eclipse with dummy workspace, "File>Import...>Install>Install Software Items from File", use (local copy from git of) https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.ui/master/releng/org.eclipse.ui.releng/platformUiTools.p2f . That one installs all the required 3rd party tooling that is not in SDK.
3) Proceed with installation, restart and use actual "work" workspace to work.
 
That takes ~5 minutes and with that alone I've found few regressions.
 
The benefit of clean install: I can switch to the previous (working) installation at any time if a new regression prevents me from using latest SDK build.
Also with that I can bisect "complicated" regressions (where one has no idea which module caused regression), because I have almost every I-build locally.
 
Kind regards,
Andrey Loskutov

new questioN. I don't even knwo where i would find nightly build to download. And why are those I-Builds not nightly but more like weekly?
 
https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/index.html has links to releases, milestones and Ibuilds. It's the official download page of Eclipse Platform (first link on the right at https://www.eclipse.org/eclipse/) .
I-builds are nightly except for the cases when a build fails when we fix it during the next day - as today.
I use I-builds via   https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/4.24-I-builds/ (listed and explained if one clicks on I-build from the very first URL I pointed to https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops4/I20220501-1800/#Repository ) and update every morning before starting to do any work.
