Managing a Standardized Build Process Outside of the Eclipse IDE

Fri, 01 Sep 2006 11:00:00 EDT

Building objects in the Eclipse IDE is simple - it's a point-and-click solution. However, as applications built on the Eclipse platform mature the need for building outside of the IDE increases. This need can be driven by the development team that is striving to perform agile development techniques where builds are executed based on a file 'check-in' action into an SCM tool. The need can also be driven by IT governance where a scheduled and audited production build is required. Moving from builds managed inside of the Eclipse platform to builds managed outside of the Eclipse platform can be a big task in itself. Don't hesitate to make this jump. It's a jump that you'll find you can't do without. The sooner you get out of your point-and-click build process, the sooner your application will begin to mature.

What's New in Eclipse?

Tue, 19 Jul 2005 11:45:00 EDT

Since Eclipse's first release in 2001, it has become a popular environment for Java development. In the period between March 10 and May 11, 2005, users downloaded over 17,000 copies of one of the production SDK releases and over 3,500 copies of one of the stable (milestone) SDK builds on average every day. A vibrant eco-system of developers, plug-in providers, authors, and bloggers has grown up around it. Eclipse has also gained the backing of the key Java vendors including BEA, Borland, IBM, SAP, and Sybase. Developers like Eclipse because it provides a great platform for building Java applications, and companies like it because it unifies their software tools under one open source umbrella.
