Hello.
We are about to set up our first build in Jazz. The example ant build file is working fine, but now we decided to really build something. :-) Up to now, we always triggered a headless PDE build. The Eclipse PDE build requires some maintenance effort; like keeping features and map files in sync; build failure analysis occurs to be time consuming especially when dependencies were set wrong or are not satisfied, ... Now we wondered whether Jazz offers an alternative to the Eclipse PDE build - for instance fetching the sources from SCM works via a seperate build workspace instead of the ant fetch script generator. Is there a way to trigger the compilation of plugins in an easier way or does the build still rely on PDE build with disabled fetch phase? Thanks and regards, Stefan |

Stefan,
No it's not going to order them by plugin, feature, etc. It's just fetching the files and folders from SCM and writing them to the location you specified in a way that matches the workspace you are fetching. It doesn't try to interpret any kind of semantic meaning from the files...they are just files and folders as far as that ant task is concerned.

Hello Ryan,
Jazz offers the teamFetch task for fetching code from a Jazz workspace onto Yes, whereas it should be sufficient to have "skipFetch" set to whatever value, as the "unless" condition only checks wheter a property is set or not. :-) Took me some hours during my first times with and until I realized that "skipFetch=false" didn't help :-D Does the teamFetch order the sources in groups of "/plugins/*" and "/features/*"? Or do I have to reorder them or reconfigure PDE build? Regards, Stefan |
Hi Stefan,
Jazz offers the teamFetch task for fetching code from a Jazz workspace onto the build machine. When using this task, you should disable PDE build's fetch phase. I believe this is done by setting skipFetch=true in PDE build's build.properties. Jazz doesn't offer an alternative to PDE build for actually building plugins. Jazz itself is built using the teamFetch task and PDE build. Ryan |
