Hi Platform developers,

I'm picking up an old project of mine again, building the Eclipse Platform for 
the Raspberry Pi[1].

The new Raspberry Pi 4 should be able to cope with the Eclipse IDE much better 
than the previous versions, although I'm mostly interested in using PiPlug as 
one can see in the screenshot[2] in a home automation project.

I wanted to write a script that did most of the job and came over an issue. In 
order to build the SWT binaries I first have to import the 
"eclipse.platform.swt" project into eclipse, rename the ".classpath_gtk" file 
then do a build in order to prepare the code into the "bin" folder. So I am 
wondering whether you are aware of a way of doing this step without having to 
start Eclipse and invoke a build. I would prefer to be able to do everything 
from a bash script, including copying the files to an actual Raspberry Pi and 
do the compilation there.

I've looked at the "SWT Classpath Builder.launch" code, but I see no way of 
running that outside of Eclipse. Also replicating what these Ant scripts does, 
may be a bit of a hassle.

Best regards,
Torkild U. Resheim
