Build Identifier: 3.6 Helios The instructions on http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform-releng-sourcebuild35 are outdated. If you follow them, you will get this error: BUILD FAILED /home/digulla/packages/eclipse/eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.6/org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder/buildFromSource.xml:55: The following error occurred while executing this line: /home/digulla/packages/eclipse/eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.6/org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder/buildFromSource.xml:107: The following error occurred while executing this line: /home/digulla/packages/eclipse/eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.6/org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder/build.xml:35: The following error occurred while executing this line: /home/digulla/packages/eclipse/eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.6/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build_3.6.0.v20100603/scripts/build.xml:20: Property mapsRepo was circularly defined. The reason is this line of code in several build.properties files: mapsRepo=${mapsRepo} If you fix that (with skipFetch=true and setting mapsRepo to some random string), you get: buildMasterFeature: lines 1-24 BUILD FAILED /home/digulla/packages/eclipse/eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.6/org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder/buildFromSource.xml:55: The following error occurred while executing this line: /home/digulla/packages/eclipse/eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.6/org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder/buildFromSource.xml:107: The following error occurred while executing this line: /home/digulla/packages/eclipse/eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.6/org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder/build.xml:35: The following error occurred while executing this line: /home/digulla/packages/eclipse/eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.6/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build_3.6.0.v20100603/scripts/build.xml:35: The following error occurred while executing this line: /home/digulla/packages/eclipse/eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.6/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build_3.6.0.v20100603/scripts/build.xml:91: The following error occurred while executing this line: /home/digulla/packages/eclipse/eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.6/org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder/eclipse/buildConfigs/master/customTargets.xml:18: The following error occurred while executing this line: /home/digulla/packages/eclipse/eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.6/org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder/eclipse/buildConfigs/master/allElements.xml:16: The following error occurred while executing this line: /home/digulla/packages/eclipse/eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.6/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build_3.6.0.v20100603/scripts/genericTargets.xml:107: eclipse.buildScript doesn't support the "generateSourceReferences" attribute Some more comments to the build: 1. All to specify -consoleLog as an option to "build"; otherwise the build just fails but there is no error message. 2. I get lots of errors because of missing plugins. Is the build using my default workspace? It should probably create a new one. 3. It gets more and more complicated to locate the files necessary for the runtime environments (CDC, Java 1.4, Java 1.5). I suggest to either extract the files which result from these build steps from the SDK download or to supply them as a download from eclipse.org so users don't have to try to build CDC 1.0 on Java 6 in a 64bit Linux box. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.6.zip from http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.6-201006080911/sourceBuilds.php 2. Follow the instructions on http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform-releng-sourcebuild35 3.
Kim, we ran into similar problems with the build, using build.eclipse.org (x86_64). Using: eclipse-sourceBuild-srcFetch-3.6.1.zip and eclipse-SDK-3.6.1-linux-gtk-x86_64.tar.gz and this command line: ./build -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86_64 We found and fixed the mapsRepo references in the following build.properties files by setting the correct repo information. find . -name '*.properties' -exec grep -H 'mapsRepo' {} \; ./eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build_3.6.1.R36x_v20100823/templates/headless-build/build.properties:mapsRepo=:pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse ./org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder/eclipse/buildConfigs/sdk.examples/build.properties:mapsRepo=:pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse ./org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder/eclipse/buildConfigs/master/build.properties:mapsRepo=:pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse ./org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder/eclipse/buildConfigs/sdk.tests/build.properties:mapsRepo=:pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse ./org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder/equinox/buildConfigs/equinox.p2.installer/build.properties:mapsRepo=:pserver:anonymous@dev.eclipse.org:/cvsroot/eclipse We've ensured that skipFetch=false in buildScripts/org.eclipse.releng.eclipsebuilder/eclipse/buildConfigs/sdk/srcBuild/build.properties The build script now ends with the following: generateScript: [eclipse.buildScript] Some inter-plug-in dependencies have not been satisfied.

I can confirm this , it also happened to me when trying to compile version 3.6.1 or even 3.7M4. It says that eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build_3.6.100.v20101122/scripts/build.xml:20: Property mapsRepo was circularly defined. Just removing line 20 : http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/eclipse/eclipse/downloads/drops/S-3.7M4-201012081300/eclipse-sourceBuild-srcIncluded-3.7M4.zip seems to help and it gets past that error but then fails again, later in the build ( don't know if the issues are related): eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build_3.6.100.v20101122/scripts/genericTargets.xml:56: Could not retrieve feature.xml or build.properties for feature org.eclipse.sdk.examples. It would be nice to be able to compile Eclipse. Thanks.
Sorry , I meant line 20 : <property file="${buildProperties}"/>
In the meantime, if you need to fix something in an Eclipse JAR/plugin, here is a workaround if you can't use PDE for some reason: http://blog.pdark.de/2010/11/10/building-patches-for-eclipse/ It's a hack but with it, I could compile complex projects like SWT and BIRT within ten minutes.
There's no plans to fix anything in "old build streams". For current build streams, for Kepler (4.3) on, can use http://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform-releng/Platform_Build I'll leave this open, as P5, "helpwanted" since if anyone can/wants to fix old wiki page, feel free to take the bug and fix the page. Not sure it is even possible to do what it says, any longer (if tools, etc., are still available and accessible). I suggest if no changes in bug status or comments by, say, end of 2014, we close as "won't fix".

Actually, I meant to say "end of 2013". And, I've decided it does no harm to close as "won't fix" now. If someone else wants to work on this for "old" build, feel free to reopen and describe your plans.
