Hi,
You don't need to know about Buckminster. It is used on the build server
and the idea is that it starts an Eclipse instance and uses the plugins
installed in it to compile the code. The main reason this is easier than
using Ant is that we use an older verion of erlide to compile the Erlang
code too, and the settings don't need to be kept in two places (the Eclipse
workspace and the buildscript).
I did look at using Maven/Tycho instead, but that's not very simple either
and while the current way works I will keep using it.
