This repo is used to build the Eclipse SDK which provides the framework for Eclipse based applications, the Java development tooling and the Plug-in development tooling. To clone it, it is recommended to use one of the URLs found on the following website: https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator
An anonymous clone can be done via the following commands:
git clone https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator.git
cd eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator
git submodule update --init --recursive
The latter command will clone all submodules.
To run a complete build, on your local machine, run the following commands.
The -DskipTests=true will skip the tests which take a significant time to run, e.g., up to 10 hours.
# clean up "dirt" from previous build see Bug 420078
git submodule foreach git clean -f -d -x
git submodule foreach git reset --hard HEAD
git clean -f -d -x
git reset --hard HEAD
# update master and submodules
git checkout master
git pull --recurse-submodules
git submodule update
# run the build
mvn clean verify -DskipTests=true
# find the results in
# eclipse.platform.releng.tychoeclipsebuilder/sdk/target/products/*
The build commands require the installation and setup of Java 11 or higher and Maven version 3.5.4 or higher. See also the complete instructions on the Platform Build wiki. Note, it is highly recommended to use toolchains.xml and -Pbree-libs as decribed in Using BREE Libs.
Eclipse Platform Project committers should also read Automated Platform Builds.
Release Engineers should also be familiar with other documents on the Releng Wiki.
