RE: [dtp-dev] Building DTP

["Eutsler, Charles" <Charles.Eutsler@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The bug is the Max Row Count and Max Display Row Count preferences can't
be set.  Setting them throws a class cast exception.  And even if they
preferences did get set (by fixing the problem by intercepting the error
with the debugger), the ResultConfiguration object that is used by the
Result Set View's UI isn't initialized with the preference values at
startup.

The bug is https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=281479 and
there are two duplicates of it
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=287059 and
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=290272).

Another reason we'd like to learn to build the plug-ins is that we've
got an RCP application that has a major handicap because of this
problem.  If we could build our own replacement plug-in, we might be
able to make our application more usable.

Hi Charles...

You might check out this Wiki:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/DTP_New_Committer_Info 

At the bottom of that page is a list of CVS checkouts and the rest of
it.

All of our builds are automated nightly and run by our nice build folks.
You should be able to take the latest build in a valid Eclipse
installation and just check out those bits that you need.

What's the bug?

I'm stuck.

We would like to get a bug in DTP fixed and thought the best way to get
that done is to code the fix, build DTP, install the fixed DTP in
Eclipse to test it, then post a patch to the Bugzilla.

I can't find clear instructions on what needs to be checked out from
CVS, what versions of Java, Ant, Eclipse, etc. need to be installed to
perform the build.

I found the old "How to Build DTP 0.7" in the Wiki and attempts to get
the build done using those instructions are thwarted by a build.xml not
including the org.eclipse.equinox jars in its bootclasspath, then the
connectivity.build's build.xml tries to run the non-existent build.xml
in the org.eclipse.datatools.connectivity plug-in.

I'm clearly on the wrong track.

Can anybody point us to the instructions on how to get DTP built?
