[FYI, despite having reported and done a bit of investigation on
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=518095, I'm still a total
eclipse noob, so please go easy on anything stupid below.]
I have a few JDT experiments ("hacks") I want to try-out, and have been
trying to follow the instructions in the various dev resources and
guides, such as
* eclipse.org/jdt/core/dev.php
* wiki.eclipse.org/JDT_Core_Committer_FAQ
* https://wiki.eclipse.org/JDT_Core_Programmer_Guide
* eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/13/
* and numerous others.
The central problem (that's blocking me) is the fact that none of the
above appear to be both current and correct, compounded by the fact that
none of the docs have overt last-modified dates, nor major release level
ranges. I therefore invested a fair amount of time trying to build a
JDT dev project going down multiple routes, only to discover that each
was effectively an abandoned gopher-hole. In more detail:
* I tried to clone the repos listed in
https://github.com/eclipse/eclipse.jdt.core; determined that maven
can build all modules from the command-line with the
-Pbuild-individual-bundles profile, but have yet to successfully
import the modules into eclipse as a set of maven projects, since
the project can't be compiled without the core eclipse
infrastructure jars; attempting to extract them from the parent pom
is a total crap-shoot, given its inherent complexity (else I might
be on my way to at least prototyping the hacks, but miles from
creating even a personal release);
* I also tried cloning the repose listed in
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Platform-releng/Git_Workflows (using http:
as anonymous as instructed); the first 3 clones worked, but the next
several crapped-out with timeouts, premature EOFs, or other faults;
url #6
(*ssh://use...@git.eclipse.org:29418/jdt/eclipse.jdt.core.git*) with
the magic *29418
<ssh://use...@git.eclipse.org:29418/jdt/eclipse.jdt.core.git>*
segment alludes to this link being release-specific (viewing History
doesn't pin-point what release the page presents, but the latest
entry is back to '16
* I was initially excited to find
eclipse.platform.common-I20190808-1800, then tracked it to
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/eclipse.platform, only to find
it's either not indexed there, or might be stale.
Any advice or live/good links to Getting Started docs would be most
appreciated.
Thanks,
