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 1.8 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.
