[cdt-dev] EPP build?

[Liviu Ionescu <ilg@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm trying to build the Oxygen EPP CDT packages, but they fail with 

$ git clone --branch=OXYGEN https://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/epp/org.eclipse.epp.packages.git org.eclipse.epp.packages.git

the same happens for the default -Pepp.package.rcp, even for older commits in the OXYGEN branch. 

building the NEON.3 branch is fine.


my first guess is that the maven script lacks an explicit reference to some platform plug-in, that, on the official build machine, happens to be in the cache.

did anyone else notice this problem? if the script passes on your machines, could you temporarily rename the maven cache folder, and retry?


thank you,
