How to do Headless RCP product build on RTC

Currently we're evaluating RTC. The project is to develope an RCP product. We want to migrate the codes from CVS server to Jazz Server.

I want to make a headless build of RCP product by pulling source codes from the Jazz Srouce Control.

The previous way is to interate with the CVS server and build it in the client machine with PDE build and RCP delta package installed.

Can I do that with Jazz repository? Thank you very much.

Hello singup,

I am not sure about all implications of your question here is what its worth:

RTC comes with a build engine and build system toolkit that allows to setup
and specify machines for headless builds.
In case of Eclipse you would use the Eclipse Core Batch Compiler ECJ form
eclipse.org and ANT to run a headless build on a Java App, call unit tests
etc.
The Build definition can automatically accept changes from a RTC Stream,
download the associated data to some location, create a baseline and call
the build tools and publish results.

There are several articles in the Jazz Team Blog about this as well as other
information like the workshop in https://jazz.net/learn/
A really good overview about some of the capabilities including the Build
part can be found here: https://jazz.net/learn/LearnItem.jsp?href=content/docs/rtc1.0-capabilities/index.html

Hope this is not completely off topic 8-)
