Aggregator repo for Eclipse SDK builds
======================================
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.
How to build the Eclipse SDK
----------------------------
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/eclipse.platform.repository/target/products
```
Build with custom compiler
--------------------------
To compile the build itself with a custom compiler perform the follwoing step after cloning the submodules:
```
# compile local version
mvn clean install -f eclipse.jdt.core/org.eclipse.jdt.core.compiler.batch -DlocalEcjVersion=99.99
# run build with local compiler
mvn clean verify -DskipTests=true -Dcbi-ecj-version=99.99
```
Build requirements
------------------
The build commands require the installation and setup of Java 17 or higher and Maven version 3.5.4 or higher.
See also the complete instructions on the [Platform Build wiki](https://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform-releng/Platform_Build "Platform Build").
Note, it is highly recommended to use toolchains.xml and -Pbree-libs as decribed in [Using BREE Libs](https://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform-releng/Platform_Build#Using_BREE_Libs "Using BREE Libs").
Integration builds
------------------
The integrations (nightly) build jobs are hosted on Jenkins instance https://ci.eclipse.org/releng/job/Builds/.
The job with the highest release number is the one that builds nightly SDK build, like https://ci.eclipse.org/releng/job/Builds/job/I-build-4.36/ job for 4.36 SDK.
- The build artifacts and test results are accessible at https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/
- If the tests fail to start, test jobs for each platform can be found at https://ci.eclipse.org/releng/job/AutomatedTests/
- If the build is successful but SDK is broken and shouldn't be used, the build can be marked as unstable via https://ci.eclipse.org/releng/job/Builds/job/markUnstable/
- Weekly maven snapshots are [built on Jenkins](https://ci.eclipse.org/releng/view/Publish%20to%20Maven/) and available at https://repo.eclipse.org/content/repositories/eclipse-snapshots/
