Gradle-based Eclipse project build

Include extension elements in uptodate checks

Requested Change

Extend the uptodate checks of the tasks provided by the eclipsebuild package to also respect changes to the extension element that they makes use of. Use convention mappings to solve this problem.

Motivation

All tasks must properly participate in the uptodate checks.

Make use of NamedDomainObjectContainer for target platform definitions

Requested Change

Make use of the NamedDomainObjectContainer approach to define the target platforms in the root project.

Motivation

The current DSL to define the target platforms in the BuildDefinitionPlugin in the root Gradle build file is not the typical way of doing it in Gradle.

Only declare plugin dependencies in the MANIFEST.MF file

Requested Change

Only declare the Eclipse plugin dependencies in the MANIFEST.MF file and have the build.gradle file read the dependency information described in the MANIFEST.MF file.

Motivation

Avoid the redundancy between the declaration of Eclipse plugin dependencies in build.gradle and in MANIFEST.MF.

Only declare target definitions in the .target files

Requested Change

Only declare the target definitions in the .target files and have the build file of the Gradle root project read the target platform information described in the .target definition files.

Motivation

Avoid the redundancy between the declaration of target platforms in the .target definition files and the build file of the Gradle root project.

Upload daily snapshots to eclipse.org

Requested Change

Upload each daily snapshot of Buildship to the eclipse.org downloads area via SFTP.

Motivation

We want to offer the latest snapshot of Buildship to our users in an automated manner.

Restrict Eclipse plugin dependency lookups to the mavenized repository

Requested Change

Currently, all Eclipse plugin dependencies are declared with wildcard versions. Thus, each repository registered in the build is queried to find the latest version for a given Eclipse plugin dependency. Avoid this broad lookup of the Eclipse plugin dependencies:

  • Use fixed dependency versions (provide a map with dependency versions per target platform).
  • Limit the lookup to the mavenized repository for all groups named eclipse.
  • Provide an even deeper integration into Gradle dependency management.

Motivation

The current behavior adds significantly to the build time and it increases the need to be online when building.
