| [swtbot-dev] Move to Tycho ? |
|
Hi all, With recent choice of leaving support for old Eclipse versions, the project is now more clean and the build is easier to tweak. As tracked by bug 359024, I tried to create a Tycho builder for SWTBot. All the stuff is about adding pom.xml in bundles and features. It can be found on the "master" branch of my Git repo: https://github.com/mickaelistria/swtbot The current status is that some tests are failing simply because they apparently cannot work on a non QWERTY-native machine. It is the last point in the bug. I'd be glad if someone can simply check-out the branch and run "mvn clean install" on it, and confirm that all the tests are green for him. I can say that this builder provides everything necessary to replace the current one ie a p2 repository. It is far easier to maintain, and more important, it is far easier to run a build locally. Moreover, Tycho is widely used in the Eclipse community, so that it is easy to get support when necessary, and there are already lots of useful stuff provided for Eclipse artifacts (such as signing). Then the debate is: What do you think about SWTBot moving to Tycho ASAP ? https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=359024 Regards, |
