Organizing Hudson and Jenkins Build Jobs

by Markus Knauer
in Planet Eclipse
Comments

At Eclipse we are running many, many build jobs on our Hudson servers. Most projects are managing multiple jobs, one for each version that they are supporting, sometimes multiplied by the number of sub-components.

Tycho, Maven and p2.inf

by Markus Knauer
in EclipseSource News
Comments

Today I spent some time on the RAP Tools build which is based on Tycho. The problem that I tried to solve had to do with our recent ID renaming of the RAP Tools feature to a more appropriate name,org.eclipse.rap.tooling is now called org.eclipse.rap.tools. Usually p2 is able to update seamlessly from one installable unit to another installable unit with a higher version number, but in...

Comments

Doing live presentations is always challenging, isn't it? Especially here, at EclipseCon, I like to integrate some demo elements in my talks, but in case you are relying on external resources, such as a network, there is always the chance that it is not going to work during your presentation.

in Planet Eclipse
Comments

The new EPP packages for Helios M6 are uploaded to the download area and just need some more hours to be distributed to the Eclipse download mirrors until we can make them available for the public from eclipse.org/downloads.
