| |
| 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/sdk/target/products/* |
| ``` |
| |
| Build requirements |
| ------------------ |
| |
| 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](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"). |
