jbe for AIX?

Is it possible to run the JBE on AIX? Seems like since it's headless
eclipse, all that would be needed is the jbe executable for AIX. If it
can't be done now, are there plans to make one available for AIX later?

Thanks, Brian

I don't think there are plans to package an aix version of jbe. However, I
think you can run the build engine without jbe. Try this (assuming java 5 is
on your path):

cd into /jazz/buildsystem/buildengine/eclipse

java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.1.R33x_v20070828.jar

(you may need to tweak the version number on org.eclipse.equinox.launcher to
match what you've got in your plugins folder).

That should print the usage message. If that works, then try the full
command. For example:

java -jar
plugins\org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.1.R33x_v20070828.jar -repository
http://localhost:9080/jazz -engineId engine1 -userid ADMIN -pass
ADMIN -sleeptime 1

Your response here seems to describe a solution to my earlier question
about "Porting the JBE to a new platform".

So, am I correct in concluding that to take the JBE to somewhere else
(that somewhere must have a Java 5 available), I need only take the RTC
buildsystem jar files over and following your instructions below ?

We only test on windows and linux. But, I believe as long as you have java
5, the build engine will run. When "taking jbe somewhere else", you should
include the entire buildsystem directory because the engine depends on the
toolkit in certain cases.

Hi all,
In newer RTC versions it is available. Navigate to download -> all downloads page on jazz.net. Example link: https://jazz.net/downloads/rational-team-concert/releases/5.0.2/RTC-BuildSystem-Toolkit-AIX-5.0.2.zip
