[David M Williams <david_williams@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I suggest you ask these and future questions
on one of the Eclipse Forums. 

http://www.eclipse.org/forums/

Perhaps on the newcomers forum, if you
want a broad survey of where to look next, 
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/89/

and perhaps in the Eclipse Forum, 
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/11/

For two reasons: 
  1) this mailing list is primarily
for us Eclipse project committers ourselves to use to get our Eclipse Project
day to day business done; and
  2) there are a LOT of really
smart people in the community, many of whom have been through exactly what
you are starting to go through, 
so they could help you even more that
"us experts" because we are pretty focused one thing, what we
currently do.
Others in the community may have a broader
view and be able to point you to better examples for your case and situation.


Hope that helps, 

(I am a little disappointed to know
there is no masters thesis coming. :)

haha~you really make me
laugh, thank you for your advice, i am really appreaciate 
 
the reason i do this is

 
1)for my current job,to
provide a build strategy add to my rcp project
2)for my intersting in
this area
 
i actually want duplicate
your build(or a simpler version)
 
more important than the
build tech you use, i want learn the management skills of release process

 
for example
 
separate integration and
master branch, and submit contribution to integration branch for I builds
 
i know it is impossible
to comletely know the things your experts have done , so i listen to your
suggestion and prepare to give up the idea to duplicate
 
then to find some simpler
solutions, 
 
thank you for your patient

 
maybe i still have question
latter, hope your can point out me a direction
 
best wishes!

Yes. for both. 

You've not really said what you want this for. But, be aware this is a
rapidly changing area. We'll soon split out some of the tools we use from
the base builder, and use it no more. Just the tools (see bug 324682).
Plus some form/combination of "the CBI" that's being developed.
(There's a mailing list for that).  Plus the "ecilpseBuilder"
project (in Git) is what actually _drives_ our build, packaging, and initiates
the tests  (and there we use only master, for both streams). Any data
that is stream specific is in the releng maps project (in Git), which is
branched; R3_8_maintenance, R4_2_maintenance, and master (for Kepler).
Not only the literal maps and repository pointers in there are steam specific,
but many other variables or properties in the 'configuration' folder. 

If you are asking because you want to duplicate our build, I'd recommend
not. Find something simpler. 
  
If you are doing a masters thesis or something then there you are ... all
set ... jack pot ... good topic ... several years of study just waiting
for some code archeology :) 

Good luck.

Yes, the basebuilder is still in CVS. We currently use the one tagged with
'R38M6PlusRC3C'

Hi, 

I am interesting in the build&test process and version management of
