Yeah, I think the best we've got is at
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/org.eclipse.cdt-contrib/org.eclipse.cdt.oprofile-home/developer/info.html?cvsroot=Tools_Project

Sorry about the sad state of documentation.  I really need to post some
more information about this stuff.

You should be invoking the build as a Java runtime process; you don't
invoke the build directly with a Java compiler.  The following build
command uses your standard Java runtime to launch the Eclipse plug-in
builder.  The plug-in builder uses the internal ecj installation that
comes with the Eclipse distribution that you have installed at
ECLIPSE_HOME.  So behind the scenes, you're actually building the
plug-ins with ecj, but you need to start the build process in a plain
old Java runtime environment.

$ cd /path/to/org.eclipse.cdt.oprofile.releng
$ export ECLIPSE_HOME=/path/to/eclipse/dir
$ java -cp $ECLIPSE_HOME/startup.jar \
	org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main \
	-application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner \
	-DbaseLocation=$ECLIPSE_HOME \
	-Dpde.build.scripts=$ECLIPSE_HOME/plugins/org.eclipse.pde.build_3.1.0/scripts \
	-Dconfigs=linux,gtk,x86


Hope that helps.  Let me know if you have problems - hopefully I can
have a look at this on the weekend.  My Eclipse build hacking skills are
a little rusty right now.
