Re: [cbi-dev] Building natives/launchers with CBI
|
Hi Denis,
if it's of interest: I'm using NSIS to bundle my RCP application for
Windows users since some years now:
http://openchrom.wordpress.com/2011/09/06/microsoft-windows-users-love-setup-files
I'm quite happy cause NSIS allows to build the setup.exe files under
Linux too! :-). The executable is build using a shell script, triggered
after a successful Maven/Tycho product build of my application.
Furthermore, I also have automation scripts to build *.deb and *.rpm
files. Only Mac OS X *.dmg images can't be produced under Linux, cause
the hdiutil command line programm is missing.
If you'd like to, I'm willing to share my scripts.
Best,
Philip

Greetings CBI followers,
I've been wondering about the feasibility of building the Eclipse
launchers using CBI... I'm referring to the eclipse.exe and "eclipse"
executable files that start Eclipse.
If I am not mistaken, those files are currently being build elsewhere,
and are deposited somewhere (Git?) to be consumed by EPP.
If these files could be built by CBI, I'm guessing they could be made
slightly more intelligent to help detect the presence/absence of a JRE
and offer usable help to our users. This would be part of the overall
plan to help improve the initial user experience to Eclipse, as
outlined below:
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_User_Experience_2015
The actual bug to track this effort is:

Thanks for any input you have!
Denis
