Hi fellows,
I just found time to follow the steps in http://www.eclipse.org/Xtext/developers/workspaceSetup.php
to set up my workspace in order to work on Xtext again.
One thing that struck me was why don't we provide a target
definition file for the target platform? This might make the process
even smoother (it's already really smooth, kudos to Dennis,
Sebastian and everybody else involved!). I just created a target
definition file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?pde version="3.5"?>
<target name="Xtext Target Platform">
<locations>
<location path="${workspace_loc}/org.eclipse.xtext.releng/team/
targetplatform/eclipse" type="Directory"/>
</locations>
<environment>
<os>macosx</os>
<ws>cocoa</ws>
<arch>x86</arch>
<nl>en_US</nl>
</environment>
</target>
It looks to me we could easily derive the platform information from /
org.eclipse.xtext.releng/build.properties. Users can then just open
the target definition file and click on the "Set as Target Platform"
link to activate this target platform.
Let me know if you considered this option but dropped it for
technical reasons.
Cheers,
Peter
