Re: [pde-build-dev] What's the use of task <modifiedMaps> in EclipseBuil

[Kim Moir <Kim_Moir@xxxxxxxxxx>]

To be clear, this is not a function
in pde build itself but rather in the org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder project
which is maintained by the platform team for their builds.  Other
teams also use this project but there are no guarantees that it will remain
consistent in functionality (no api contract)

The function of this task is to compare
the current version of a map file project in cvs with the one from the
last build which we store in on properties file on our build server. 

Do you have a properties file with the
cvs tag used in the previous version?  For instance, our latest ${mapTag.properties)
looks like this

bash-3.00$ cat mapTag.properties

        lastMapTag=I20061129-1340

modifiedMaps refers to org.eclipse.releng.CvsDiffParser
in org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder/plugins/org.eclipse.build.tools.  See
the plugin.xml for org.eclipse.releng.build.tools.
We rtag our map file project with each
integration build to allow us to compare the map file project between builds.
 This allows us to see the projects that have submitted  code
(updated their map files) since the last i-build and cancel a build if
the map files haven't changed.

The org.eclipse.releng.basebuilder/plugins/org.eclipse.build.tools/Mailer.java
sends mail messages to notify of build events.  However, it requires
javax.mail which is included in j2ee.jar. We don't have j2ee.jar on the
open source project because it was not a file we could open source as it
is part of the vm.  We store in on an internal server and check it
out during our builds, you could do the same. This make be the cause of
your NoClassDefFoundError.

Subject	[pde-build-dev] What's the use of task <modifiedMaps> in        EclipseBuilder?

Hi,
 
I’m trying the compareMapFiles
target in EclipseBuilder.
    <target
name="compareMapFiles"
if="compareMaps">
       <property
file="${mapTag.properties}"/>
       <property
name="cvsDiffFile"
value="${buildDirectory}/cvsDiff.txt"
/>
       <cvs
cvsRoot="${mapCvsRoot}"
dest="${buildDirectory}/maps"
command="diff
-w -r ${lastMapTag}" output="${cvsDiffFile}"
/>
       <modifiedMaps
mapDiffFile="${cvsDiffFile}"
/>

    </target>
But seems it failed in step <modifiedMaps mapDiffFile="${cvsDiffFile}" />
with error msg:
/home/adb/farrah/BaseBuilder/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build/scripts/build.xml:38: The following error occurred while executing this line:
/home/adb/farrah/BIRTBuilder/eclipse/buildConfigs/birt/customTargets.xml:50: The following error occurred while executing this line:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/mail/MessagingException

 
What’s the use of task <modifiedMaps > ?
 
Thanks,
Xiaoying Gu
