[news.eclipse.platform] build and release process for eclipse

Hello,
What is the standard way for me to get the source and build it from scratch?



I've started using cvs to checkout the modules. That was very confusing because there were so many modules to play with. After getting a few files here and there, I couldn't find an entry point to do a "make".



Eventually I got hold of the srcInclude with file name extention -I20080415-1646.zip. I've built that with compile error, submitted a bug and waited a few weeks. After that I see that the srcInclude has a link with status such as "build failed status". I waited for a good build but even that got an error as well. Eventually that link went away entirely. I could only get a build called a nice even release number called srcIncluded-3.3.zip. However that one came with error below.


Also I came across the news group called eclipse.release or something along that line, but I couldn't find that newsgroup, so now I have to resort to this one.

Eventually I want to see a documentation on how the build command traverses the directory and compile the code in certain order and what the module means, but that's a much later step.
