Announcing a full featured PDE Build example from a Git repository

September 8, 2011 | 1 min Read

I set up a githup repository that gives a working example for a PDE product build from a git repository. It is meant to ease the pain of setting up new builds by having a working template that just needs to be adjusted to the new project.

I’m planning a series of blog entries with and around that example. Some features are:

  • Works system independent
  • Executes tests
  • Builds from map files
  • Separates compile step and assemble step (Improves build time)
  • Mostly self-contained (Required: An Eclipse SDK and Git)

How to get it running in short:

  • Fetch from git://github.com/mkempka/hyperbola-pde-build-demo.git
  • Adjust values in org.eclipsercp.hyperbola.releng/custom.properties
  • Execute org.eclipsercp.hyperbola.releng/build.xml with ant

Hereare my slides from my talk at the Eclipse Testing Day 2011 that include some documentation. I’ll do more documentation in separate blog entries the next weeks.
