Re: [epp-dev] Luna M3 packages

Mostly works, but few comments/suggestions

* I haven't checked other archives, but OSX x86_64 has individual
eclipse installation directories at the root of the archive, instead of
eclipse/ directory.
* I believe .tar.gz is more appropriate for osx, linux and posix systems
in general. See [1] for example how to configure Tycho to create tar.gz
files.
* eclipse launcher at the root of the unpacked directory is not a
symlink of Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse. As a result, running
./eclipse from command line fails. Maybe related to use of zip archive
format, but I am not sure.

Otherwise, running Eclipse.app/Contents/MacOS/eclipse directly works and
so does running Eclipse.app from Finder.

As I mentioned in the other email, running Eclipse.app does not work for
4.3.1 and 4.4M3 SDK, so looks like this test build is a step in the
right direction.

Personally, I always use command line launcher directly and never use
Eclipse.app. I would just release current M3 builds with a note about
broken Eclipse.app and deal with it for M4.

I started to migrate the build to Maven, based on the work from Igor and
Thanh. It's probably the best way to move forward and to sign the Mac
executables in our build. The build job at [1] builds a single EPP
package as an example and I would be thankful if someone with a Mac
could download and test the result.

If it is working I'd work on integrating the remaining packages tomorrow.

IMO it doesn't make sense to make the old build public. We had to
exclude at least the Modeling package and all Mac OSX packages... I'd
suggest to wait with a decision until we have a better picture about the
state of the Mac builds.

    Well, yes, interesting times... thanks for pointing us to this bug
    report. Just by cross-reading it my thoughts are (a) that is is
    nearly impossible to make Eclipse working on a Mac, and (b) we
    should drop Mac support... :(

    I'm kidding, but only partially. I'm not overly optimistic that we
    can fix this in time for M3.

        The bug not only documents how our Info.plist was incorrect
        (only for "platform binary distribution") but also all the
        various hoops users had to jump through to get things to work
        with the Mac, at various levels of OSX and Java.

        Interesting times ...

        I am on OSX 10.9 and don't have any problems starting Eclipse.
        My normal
        IDE is based on 4.4M3 "SDK" but I just tried 4.3.1 "Standard" and it
        started without any problems too.

        There is a minor problem with OSX asking to install java when you
        double-click on Eclipse icon in Finder, but I don't believe this
        is specific to Eclipse and everything works just fine if I run
        the same
        executable from command line (like I always do anyways).
