- Install a basic Eclipse distribution in a properly named folder, e.g.
eclipse_4.2.1
. - Install additional features as described in Getting Eclipse.
- Produce a reference installation file (File > Export > Install > Installed Software Items to File) and publish it in the
config
repository for people to download. Produce a P2 reference repository for the automatic Maven build to use. To do that, execute something similar to the following command in
/home/java
:Code Block java -jar eclipse_3.8/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar \ -application org.eclipse.equinox.p2.publisher.FeaturesAndBundlesPublisher \ -metadataRepository file:/home/java/repository/juno382 \ -artifactRepository file:/home/java/repository/juno382 \ -source /home/java/eclipse_3.8/ \ -publishArtifacts
- Update the reference repository location in the parent POM files of the source code repositories.
- Update
/home/java/eclipse
to point to the new installation.
Note on Windows
In case you want to setup the P2 repository on a Windows system, adapt the file paths as follows and take care to not append a file:\\ after the -source
argument.
