Hi Chris,

thanks for the links. I tried to set up a releng project for GEF3D, but I get an error message after downloading some necessary files (as defined in build.properties, dependencyURLs):

Apparently, ${eclipse.SDK.url} isn't defined. I assume this is not the right newsgroup to ask questions like this. Which mailinglist or newsgroup can I ask instead? Would it help to check in my releng project into GEF3D's svn, and you'd might have a look at it?

Cheers

Jens

Hi Miles,

actually I have the code ready to set up an update site, but I'm not sure yet if setting up an update site confirms with Eclipse process (as we do not have a release yet). Anyhow, we have a problem with LWJGL or JOGL respectively. We need one of these libraries for OpenGL. LWJGL did not get legally approved, thus we weren't able to put it into the Eclipse orbit. We are currently waiting for JOGL do get approved. So, the problem is that at the moment we have to refer to an external update site (lwjgl.org). I have asked Chris about that, and I will proceed as soon as I know how to do that according to the Eclipse process.

Cheers

Jens

BTW: We have changed a lot of things in GEF3D in the last days, which may have implications on client code (your code) as well. We will add a posting here explaining the changes, and if you have any problems I will be happy to help you.

OK guys, I don't feel bad asking this as I'm going through the pain myself right now. Do you expect to have an update site available sometime in the near future? I can't include my 3D component until the GEF3D component is available through an update site. Unless.. hmm, I suppose I could just make the plugins available at my update site for now..?

Chris,

When did you last use this? I tried CBI early this year along with a bunch of other stuff but the only thing that I was able to get working in the end was the PDE Automated Build Process. It wasn't so bad really, especially after the week or two I spent banging my head against the wall on other alternatives.

So.. as I'm in a cruch to get my own udpate site up, can I ask.. if it were you, and you had a very large set of projects with new namespaces, organization, etc.., would you try to get your existing releng converted, or would you just go with CBI. IOTW, is it really as easy as that doc makes it sound? ;)

If you're an Eclipse project, I recommend using Athena because it works pretty well. Once you get it working locally (wasn't that much of pain, I had some issues with downloading files that caused some unzipping errors which were related due to the integrity of the files... stupid incomplete downloads), it's pretty easy to setup on the Athena build server at Eclipse:

https://build.eclipse.org/hudson/view/Athena%20CBI/

In the end, you'll have a main build file for build.eclipse.org and a local one for you based on your OS and all that good stuff. It took me about half a day to get everything working.

I'd probably get the GEF3D team to take advantage of Athena CBI for their build...

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Common_Build_Infrastructure/Getting_Started/Build_In_Eclipse

http://wiki.eclipse.org/Common_Build_Infrastructure/Getting_Started/Build_In_Hudson

can take advantage of the common build infrastructure at Eclipse.org to build and publish GEF3D. It just takes a bit of time to setup.
