Typically the SDK is not built manually.
Instead, just the native fragments are compiled on the target platform
(SWT and optionally org.eclipse.core.filesystem), and checked into CVS.
Then, a single eclipse build mechanism runs against CVS to build
the SDK for all platforms. If you haven't already done so, I suggest contacting
platform-swt-dev with your contribution and they can go through the contribution
process with you. To submit a platform patch for the org.eclipse.core.filesystem
plugin, please enter a bug report against Platform Resources, including
any patches to the native source or make files, and attach the compiled
native.

[platform-dev] How do I build
the eclipse sdk from CVS?
Hi there,
A while ago I ported the Eclipse 3.1 SDK(+ the native SWT bits) onto the
Solaris X86_64 platform. I'd really like to submit these changes
back
to the Eclipse CVS and so I was trying to work out how to patch my
changes into a current CVS snapshot. However, I can't work out how
to
actually build Eclipse from the CVS? It seems to be all split up
into
different packages. Is there a way of taking lots of packages from
CVS
and turning them into a buildable SDK? What's the best way to do
this?
Kind Regards,
Ben Staniford.
