Well, in Fedora we do smth slightly different:
ant provision.cvs
ant -DdestDir=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT -Dprefix=/usr -Dmultilib=true installSDKinDropins

Thanks, that fixes the installation of new plugins for me.

It would be good if someone makes provision.cvs the default target, removes
install and renames installSDKinDropins to simply install. This is the way to
go and I doubt anyone is testing what you're using hence the problems.

Looks like it. Is anybody testing testing, BTW?

I
have done this on FreeBSD 8-stable (64bit) and Fedora 14 (32 bit). Minor
problems I've seen on both systems:

1. The "label" property should be "3.7.0", or the
eclipse-3.7.0-src.tar.bz2 needs to be redone to include the buildId.
This has been fixed in master. See
http://git.eclipse.org/c/linuxtools/org.eclipse.linuxtools.eclipse-
build.git/commit/?id=627b5f8702211471ab373407d82065b0889dfa41

What is/was the role of the eclipse37 branch if you fixed this in master? Short term development for upcoming 3.7 while 3.6 was still the current release?

2. The "provision.sdk" target needs to install the
org.eclipse.equinox.initializer plugin, or the "install" step will fail.
Look at my first sentence. We managed to accumulate some crap that needs to be
deleted. I don't envision eclipse-build supporting two types of builds with
and without moving jdt and pde in dropins. We simply don't have the manpower
for it.
The only installation/build layout I plan to support is with jdt and pde in
dropins because this matches distros instalations more. Others may want to
support the layout of Classic Eclipse but if someone plans to do that he/she
should step in otherwise this parts will be removed.

I'd need to spend more time looking at the details to form an opinion. I've never used a distro's package for Eclipse on Linux (I always grabbed the Classic tarball from download.eclipse.org).

Anyway, that's not my immediate concern. I'm currently setting up the build from git so that I can separate generically useful (or at least not harmful) changes from FreeBSD-specific stuff and test on both systems.
