Re: [ajdt-dev] [URGENT] building AJDT plugins (and more)

[Andy Clement <andrew.clement@xxxxxxxxx>]

You know ... if I was a hacker (of course I'm not) what I'd tell you
to do is (I think this will work unless I'm completely out of touch
with how AJDT operates...)

1. shutdown eclipse
2. in the filesystem go into the org.aspectj.ajde plugin you have
checked out from the AJDT repository
3. copy the build.xml from there and put it in the
eclipse/plugins/org.aspectj.ajde_blahblahblah you have in the your
real eclipse
4. setup the aspectjlib.properties next to that build.xml to point to
the aspectj you want to 'pull in'
5. execute the build.xml script specifying the target "plugin jars"
6. restart eclipse
7. stand well back...

that way you dont have to build any of AJDT and you dont have to build
an update site.  Of course, we wouldn't accept AJDT bugs on a hokey
hacked system like that, but it should be a way for you to try out
brand new AJ builds.
