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

Thanks David for the explanation and Jayaprakash for the I-Build number. Thanks also for the http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/build_types.html link, I never noticed that.

Best regards, Lars

Pretty much anything you see on our downloads page. except for the N-builds, because they are not signed, and don't following our normal qualifier rules (their qualifiers always increment).

But, I mean the term "production" in a pretty generic, "common meaning" way ... they are the builds that are tightly controlled, reproducible, done "fresh" and cleanly produced. Etc. Each, in theory, better than the previous one, all culminating in a Release, that is suitable for use by Enterprises.

As for the difference between P,M,N,I,M, and R, builds, that's explained at the link at the top of the download page, where it says  "For reference, see also the ...."meaning of kinds of builds (P,M,N,I,S, and R)".

We often do "test builds" (that may not be tight or reproducible) and of course the Gerrit builds that "build one plugin" are similarly not so tight, since they compile one plugin, against some *previous* result -- which is normally pretty accurate, given that not much changes -- but, not always accurate, and obviously not something you'd want to "give to a customer" since they are not reproducible (well, at least in any easy way, that can have maintenance applied to it). But the results of these test builds are never put on the downloads page, nor in our p2 repositories.

I could go on and on ... but, suspect I missed the point of your original question ... and hope it's clear now what you need to do.

Thanks,

Thanks, the date was clear to me, I was wondering what our production builds are. If P stands for patch, what are our production builds?

Which JDT fix are you missing?

I'm not sure at the moment if a JDT fix is missing or if Trail completion from Nico (https://github.com/trylimits/Eclipse-Postfix-Code-Completion) has a bug.

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=433500 was the bug and http://git.eclipse.org/c/jdt/eclipse.jdt.core.git/commit/?id=75afdf2996a1c8ae6b0b5be7d9f9b9919d6b66a0 should, according to this discussion, in Build id: N20141117-2000 so have to check Nicos code.

Best regards, Lars
