| Build Service |
| </h2> |
| <p> |
| The Build Service represents the execution and file manipulation services required by a builder to execute external build commands on |
| the target system. A <i>builder</i> is still required which utilizes the build service to execute the commands to perform the build. |
| </p> |
| <p>There are two implementations of the build service supplied with RDT, in the form of <a href=providers.html>Service Providers</a>:</p> |
| <UL type="disc"> |
| <li>The <b>Null Build Service</b> provider. This implementation does nothing when asked to build. It is useful if you wish to use other services |
| do not need to build the project.</li> |
| <li>The <b>RDT Remote Build Service</b> provider. This implementation uses the PTP Remote Services API to provide build services. |
| Currently there are three possible sub-choices for these services:</li> |
| <UL type="circle"> |
| <li>Local - Services are executed on the local machine.</li> |
| <li>Remote Tools - A lightweight SSH-based implementation.</li> |
| <li>RSE - An implementation based on the <a href="PLUGINS_ROOT/org.eclipse.rse.doc.user/gettingstarted/g_start.html">Remote Systems Explorer.</a></li> |
