Tonight's N-build failed tonight with some unusual errors. Some of them might have been my fault (of incomplete merges), but those should have just had to do with "promoting" the failed build, and sending the automatic message, etc.

The "first" error had to do with not finding some key files, such as: Unable to find: Installable Unit [ id=org.eclipse.equinox.executable version= ]

And ... unless someone knows something specific about org.eclipse.equinox.executable ... the reason I think worth simply re-trying is that there were a number of "permission problems" in the log.

I think those might have cleared themselves up by now, since I know from past experience, if they "restored"? the /shared disk today after the "switch change" that sometimes they have ACL reset jobs etc., that take forever to finish. When I first started to investigate, there were some files I could not delete due to permission problems  (with e4Build id), but 30 minutes later I could ... so might have "fixed itself" by now. If not, I'll have better data to report bugs with.

Just wanted to let everyone know current status.

Thanks for your help. Yes this approach to download binary and sources distributions separately sounds good for me. 
But I still can not find sources distribution for platform runtime on the 3.8.1 release page. Is there any way to download them without Eclipse SDK, runtime site is more convenient for me.

Hi John,

 

One problem that I’ve run into today is:

 

When I cannot access any p2 repositories directly because I’m on a closed network without access to the outside, I have no way now to get the Platform Sources in the form of a zipped p2 repo (which I can put on an USB key or similar). The Eclipse SDK is not a good replacement for a p2 repo IMHO (or can I use the SDK as a source for p2 director?)

 

What I would suggest is discontinuing the multiple individual p2 repos, and providing a single zipped p2 repo of the entire Eclipse Project Deliveries instead.

Or maybe replace the “rcp.source” p2 repo by a “platform.source” p2 repo which includes rcp.source.

Do you think that would make sense ?

 

The only workaround I can think of right now is using the p2 mirroring application to mirror a p2 repo … but given that release repos are composites from what I understand, it would perhaps be difficult to get an EXACT version of the Platform (such as 3.8.1) when I need it.

 

Thoughts ?

 

Thanks,

Martin

The paragraphs above and below the table in the plan document explain this in detail. The reference platforms are where we focus most of our efforts but it is not an exhaustive list. For most platforms we usually only reference the most recent release of that platform generally available at the time of our release. For example we only list the most recent RHEL, SLES, Ubuntu LTS, etc. Windows has long been the exception to this general rule. Because it was such a popular platform for Eclipse, we kept Windows XP around long after it was superceded by newer  Windows versions.

At this time I know Kepler builds still run on Windows XP, and there are one or two committers that still have an XP machine available where they can investigate specific issues. It is quite possible nothing will change in the Kepler stream to prevent Eclipse running on Windows XP. Having said that, mainstream support for Windows XP ended three years ago [1]. Bugs that occur only on Windows XP will be considered low priority at this point.

I don't know enough about the differences between OS X 10.7 and 10.8 to comment on that one specifically, but I expect we run fine on 10.7. This is just our convention mentioned above that we focus on the most recent release of a given OS.

Sent by:        platform-dev-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx



Hi,

I'm looking at Eclipse Kepler plan [1] and just noticing that Windows XP (afaics the second biggest OS by user-count) is crossed out and no mention of OS X 10.7 (only OS X 10.8 even OS 10.7 has about as high usage as 10.8).

Are these just missing from here because of lack of access to testing on this platform at eclipse.org or does it also mean issues related to these specific platforms will not be considered ?

This is mainly concerning Windows XP which got some quirks compared to Windows 7 and OS X 10.7 with respect to how JavaVM's and SWT Browser is handled.

My assumption is that if we find issues and can help test it they can be fixed; but I just wanted to make sure of the ramifications since this is the first time
I've seen Eclipse drop support for such a widely used OS as Windows XP.
