[pde-build-dev] Basebuilder Question
|
Hi All,
I have a bit of a silly question. I
am looking at streamlining our build process and making it more granular.
Currently we use a headless PDE build that is rather monolithic.
It currently uses a full Eclipse SDK as the underlying build engine,
but I was looking at using the basebuilder because it is much smaller.
However, I don't understand how this is supposed to work if you require
a plugin that is part of the Eclipse platform runtime, but not included
in the basebuilder. For example, one of my simplest plugins provides
an intro page - and thus depends on org.eclipse.ui.intro. Naturally
this fails to work with the basebuilder because it is not included in the
package. So, does this mean I should just use an SDK like I have
always been doing, or am I missing something here? What do other
plugin projects do that depend on items outside of the basebuilder package?
A second question - I am looking at
writing some wrapper scripts so that I can build a plugin at a time (outside
of my features) using the PDE-provided Ant tasks (i.e. eclipse.buildScript).
It looks like this is possible, but before I spend a huge amount
of time on it - does anyone want to discourage me for any reason whatsoever?
;o) I am looking at doing this because I would like to split up my
build process into smaller bits and store the artifacts in an Ivy-like
repository so I can essentially "assemble" components as I need
them. We also have a lot of plugins that don't change much compared
to others, so it makes sense to not rebuild them all the time.
Thanks in advance,
Mark.
