[eclipse-dev] New RelEng Plug-in on eclipse.org.

["Dean Roberts" <Dean_Roberts@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

I have just released a new version of the RelEng plug-in on the RelEng developers page.  I strongly encourage people doing build submissions to use this plug-in as it should reduce errors in the *.map file build contributions.

As well, there are several new features you may find interesting.  They are:

1.        Release to the Team menu. This action will Tag selected projects with the specified version and update the appropriate loaded *.map files with the version. The user must have the *.map files loaded in their workspace and the use must commit the map file changes to the repository when done.
2.        Load Map Projects to the Team menu. Select one or more *.map file and this action will load the projects listed in the *.map file into your workspace. Naturally the versions specified in the *.map file will be loaded.
3.        Tag Map Projects to the Team menu. Select one or more *.map files and this action will tag the projects listed in the *.map files with a tag you specify.
4.        Fix Copyright to the Resource Perspective Projects context menu. Select one or more projects in the Resource Perspective. This action will sanity check the copyright notices in all the *.java and *.properties files. Copyrights will be updated automatically where the tool deems appropriate. A copyright.log file will be written to the workspace directory noteing odd conflicts that need to be looked at. You need to commit the changes yourself. This is the tool that was used to do the 2.1 Copyright pass.

Thanks and enjoy.
