How to build springide from source (from trunk)

[kajh]

Hi!

Thanks for fixing issue #164!

What is the easiest way to build springide from source from the commandline(when fetching the latest source from trunk in svn)?

btw: what is the status of http://springide.org/updatesite_dev/? Do you have any plans to start nightly builds?

TIA!

Kaj,

Thanks for fixing issue #164!

You're welcome :-)

There's no easy way to build Spring IDE from command line by only getting the source code from SVN. This is because Eclipse's plugin-in development toolkit (PDE) is used for compiling and packaging Spring IDE (please refer to http://springide.org/project/wiki/SpringideBuild for further information).

btw: what is the status of http://springide.org/updatesite_dev/?

It's only used for development updates, e.g. preview versions of the upcoming Spring Webflow editor.

Do you have any plans to start nightly builds?

Yes, we tried to set up an automatic build environment but we faced problems running Eclipse's PDE headless on our public Linux root server.

Cheers,
Torsten

Thank you for answering! I will give this a try!
