Tycho – LogSaw Project https://logsaw.sourceforge.io LogSaw - a high-performance log viewer based on Eclipse Wed, 19 Dec 2012 00:45:49 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.4.3 On the benefits of the Maven switch https://logsaw.sourceforge.io/?p=307 Wed, 19 Dec 2012 00:33:58 +0000 http://logsaw.sourceforge.net/?p=307 Continue reading "On the benefits of the Maven switch"]]> One of the really cool things about Maven is how well-supported it is. Ironically, I realized this while trying to figure out how to solve a bug in Maven-Tycho.
Long story short: My build machine at home is running Windows and that is causing troubles with Tycho doing cross-platform builds on it.

For several reasons, switching the OS is not an option for me and so I went on looking for alternatives. I came across CloudBees, which — as their company name suggests — are offering a bunch of services in the cloud. Most notably, a free Jenkins instance.

The service works suprisingly well so far. And thanks to the power of Maven, setting it up was a breeze. A picture tells a thousand words 🙂

]]> Building instructions updated for Maven-Tycho https://logsaw.sourceforge.io/?p=302 Sat, 29 Sep 2012 10:45:38 +0000 http://logsaw.sourceforge.net/?p=302 I have finally updated the building instructions page for the new Tycho-based build process. There are still some outstanding issues with this new build process though:

  • p2.inf touchpoints are not picked up anymore
  • version and build number expansion doesn’t work anymore

But I think these remaining issues should be fixable with reasonable effort.

]]> Migration to Maven-Tycho https://logsaw.sourceforge.io/?p=299 Tue, 24 Jul 2012 22:51:00 +0000 http://logsaw.sourceforge.net/?p=299 Tonight, I have started migrating the build infrastructure behind LogSaw from Buckminster to Maven-Tycho. Please note that you may experience weird problems until all kinks are sorted out. I will keep you posted.
