[cbi-dev] Platform-releng CBI issues - Can't build Eclipse SDK

[Patrik Suzzi <psuzzi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All,

I'm building the Eclipse Platform SDK on a Linux (Ubuntu 16.04), using the instructions provided on Platform-releng/Platform Build and Thanh Ha's presentation, but I encountered two errors preventing me to complete a build with SUCCESS, both on normal build and when -DskipTests=true.

As I can't submit issues on CBI, I'm writing here, to ask if you're aware of these build issues, and to ask directions on how I can fix them: 

Error (1) on Standard Build: "Could not determine test framework provider" on org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.binaries

When building normally, including tests, my build is blocked by an error in org.eclipse.jdt.core.tests.binaries.

Please see details below:

Commands used:

$ git clone –recursive git://git.eclipse.org/gitroot/platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator.git
$ export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx2048m -Declipse.p2.mirrors=false"
$ mvn clean verify

Failure reported:

Error (2), on quick build: "Error adding file to archive" on eclipse.platform.repository

When building with -DskipTest=true, the build is blocked by an error on eclipse.platform.repository.

Error details

[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-assembly-plugin:2.5.5:single (make-assembly) on project eclipse-junit-tests: Failed to create assembly: Error adding file to archive: /home/myuser/git/00/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator/eclipse.platform.releng.tychoeclipsebuilder/eclipse-junit-tests/../../eclipse.platform.common/bundles/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/target/doc.bin.log -> [Help 1]

Note: At the end of the build, despite the error, I can find org.eclipse.platform.sdk-4.7.0-SNAPSHOT.zip (208 MB) under /eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator/eclipse.platform.releng.tychoeclipsebuilder/platform.sdk/target

Thanks for taking the time to look into this.
