Fedora build is a bit more complicated as it rebuilds everything from source. But doing 'fedpkg build' in respective git checkout ( https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/eclipse/) should build everything just fine for fedora. This work is done by my team and we have contributed everything back to eclipse.org. Only missing part is including aarch64 bundles being included in various features and aarch64 product so there is aarch64 zip produced by default by the build system. Btw, you may also try mvn clean verify -Dnatives=gtk.linux.aarch64 in swt.binaries repo. It may work although it has been only tested to work proper on RHEL/Fedora/CentOS. > What is missing ? > what's missing is aarch64 build machine available at foundation (or someone else dedicating a machine accessible through ssh) for builds of the native parts. Due to the way(limitations) eclipse sdk is build there is no way to push the final bits so they can be built by default. > > Thanks in advance, > > Le ven. 13 sept. 2019 à 09:33, Aleksandar Kurtakov <akurt...@redhat.com> > a écrit : > >> >> >> On Fri, Sep 13, 2019 at 10:28 AM Doloops <dolo...@gmail.com> wrote: >> >>> Hi everyone, >>> >>> Thank you all for this awesome piece of software ! >>> Been using Eclipse for more than 10 years now...
