Hi Guys,

I agree.

However, before we make-it-so, I would like to understand
specifically
how it works when you don't actually build the natives? I can think
of a
variety of reasons one might not want to do so.
Natives are build only if one pass -Dnatives=<native>. If such parameter is not passed the natives will be resolved from e.g http://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.swt.binaries.git/ in the swt case as they would have proper pom.xml files and etc. instead of coping them from the native repo used now. This will remove the need for the current native repo to be recreated every time swt rebuilds its natives.

Hi Everyone,

I'm taking a look at Bug 383538 [1] regarding removing the natives
from the eclipse-parent pom. I've tested it and I'm able to build
cbi on linux, macosx, and windows just fine without natives now
(both with and without the -Dnative=<native> parameter).

Is there any reason we should keep the natives if we can build
successfully without it now? or should I go ahead and commit this
change?
I think that getting rid of it as soon as the modified poms are
merged into respective projects might be the best call.

Alex

Thanks,


Thanh
