Re: [cross-project-issues-dev] Build Documentation

FWIW, AFAIK Athena is no longer being actively developed. While it is
being used (and should reasonable continue to be used) by some projects
today, I recommend against adopting it for new builds.

I've created a general landing page for bulids to the wiki [1]. All:
your comments/additions are appreciated.

The set of artifacts is a bit overwhelming at first so the Buckminster guide is worth a good scan. But once you have a Buckminster build working the really cool thing is that you can use it to provision your development setup as well. So I can now simply grab the Classic Eclipse build, import my project releng directory, open up a cquery file, click Resolve.. and all of my plugins are installed and all of the projects for my build are imported into the workspace.
