Well, in Fedora we do smth slightly different: ant provision.cvs ant -DdestDir=$RPM_BUILD_ROOT -Dprefix=/usr -Dmultilib=true installSDKinDropins It would be good if someone makes provision.cvs the default target, removes install and renames installSDKinDropins to simply install. This is the way to go and I doubt anyone is testing what you're using hence the problems. > I > have done this on FreeBSD 8-stable (64bit) and Fedora 14 (32 bit).

We managed to accumulate some crap that needs to be deleted. I don't envision eclipse-build supporting two types of builds with and without moving jdt and pde in dropins. We simply don't have the manpower for it. The only installation/build layout I plan to support is with jdt and pde in dropins because this matches distros instalations more. Others may want to support the layout of Classic Eclipse but if someone plans to do that he/she should step in otherwise this parts will be removed. > > 3.

I guess this would work once you move to the supported targets. Look at Fedora spec for details http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/gitweb/?p=eclipse.git;a=blob;f=eclipse.spec;h=53840e04b526a116f5ce8aca3d91602b70bcbd01;hb=ed463deb3bfa432d95c596826db8906aa662cf3e > > The forth problem is actually bothering me most; it's not a > show-stopper, but still annoying and a regression with respect to 3.6: > > 4.
