FreeBSD Eclipse Port Builder

This project contains tools to build the port files for FreeBSD's /usr/ports/java/eclipse.

Layout

• config.sh Project configuration
• bin Script files, expected to be invoked from top-level as bin/script
• distfiles Cached copy of Eclipse tarballs
• java-eclipse Port to be eventually released to /usr/ports/java/eclipse
• java-eclipse/files/patch- Generated patches to port Eclipse to FreeBSD
• eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator Eclipse patched for FreeBSD
• .baseline.eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator (generated) pristine unpacked tree
• maven-repo.${tag} Maven repository for Eclipse build

Prerequisite Ports

• devel/gmake
• devel/maven
• devel/pkgconf
• java/openjdk11
• security/libsecret
• www/webkit2-gtk3
• x11-toolkits/gtk30

Workflow

Setup

1. bin/fetch-distfiles [additional fetch(1) flags]
2. bin/unpack-distfiles
3. bin/apply-patches [directory ...]

Unpacked distfiles + up-to-date patches => eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator

Development

1. Work on eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator
2. bin/build-eclipse [additional maven flags]

The challenge is to get a working build. Changes to eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator should be committed and pushed to the repo as required.

On a successful build, org.eclipse.sdk.ide-freebsd.gtk.${ARCH}.tar.gz is generated. This can be unpacked to test the generated executable:

1. tar xf org.eclipse.sdk.ide-freebsd.gtk.${ARCH}.tar.gz
2. eclipse/eclipse

java/eclipse port

When a usable executable has been generated the java/eclipse port can be updated:

1. bin/generate-patches
2. Update the eclipse-maven-repo project with the contents of maven-repo.${TAG}.
3. Update java-eclipse Makefile, distinfo, etc
4. Verify port build and installation
5. Submit port

Notes

The porting-strategy is based on using the Linux port as the base and converting it to FreeBSD. The pre-patch stage renames Linux specific directories, and most of the work devolves to changing the following lines of text:

• linux.x86_64 => freebsd.amd64
• linux.ppc64le => freebsd.powerpc64

The following modules have been disabled as they involve maven repository updates or are uncompilable tests.

• tests/org.eclipse.swt.tests.gtk
• eclipse-junit-tests
