Re: [platform-releng-dev] Our consumption of JDT for the Nightly build

I think that sentence could leave some
casual readers with the wrong impression. They do have daily builds, tons
of unit tests, and they often "test their own stuff" by compiling
the SDK, and much more. 

I was only answering when we move to
a new compiler, in our production builds. If you want the latest compiler,
it is in the *output* of every nightly build, but I'd recommend the latest
I-build since N-builds are not intended to be "consumed" in the
usual sense -- but, take your pick. 

But, for production builds, there is
little reason for us to move to a new compiler "every day"! Not
even weekly. The JDT Team, obviously, goes through their "milestone
cycle" like everyone else, and the builds "in the middle"
of the cycle may not be quite right ... and they don't need our production
builds to tell them that. Our consumption their milestone builds is intended
to be more of a "stress test" than a "correctness test"
-- that, and to help make sure there are no surprises for others, that
might consume a milestone JDT Compiler.  Hope that clarifies things.


Good luck,

Why do you ask?

Thanks David, I was testing an external plug-in which
depends on a change in JDT which was done last week and I expected it to
work as I didn't know what you explained. Strange to me, that JDT has no
daily build to test their latest and greatest. 

Best regards, Lars

Hi,

how to we in platform consume JDT in our platform cbi build? 

Is this based on the latest nightly JDT or on the weekly integration build
or on the milestone build?

Best regards, Lars
