#59 Build the pluging from sources fails
Hi,
I'm trying to build the GNU ARM Eclipse plugins (version 2.2.1) from the source. I have cloned the master branch GIT repository. My development environment is:
- Eclipse Kepler RCP SR2
- CDT-SDK 8.3.0
The build fails with the following error:
- Project build error: Unknown packaging: eclipse-feature
- Error resolving version for plugin 'org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-site-plugin' from the repositories [local (/Users/stefano/.m2/repository), central (http://repo.maven.apache.org/maven2)]: Plugin not found in any plugin repository
Could someone help me to setup my dev env in order to be able to build the plugins?
Regards,
Stefano
Hello Stefano,
I checked the wiki pages explaining how to build from sources, and they are pretty old :-(
I don't know what is missing in your configuration, normally maven brings all required components for the build.
Can you provide more details on the procedure you used?
Hi Liviu,
thanks for your reply.
I'm new to Maven/Tycho. Until now I used the PDE build system.
This was the useful sentence: "normally maven brings all required components for the build". I made two steps, but I'm not sure that both are required:
Now, what I would like to do is to extend the stm template in order to create a ready to use FreeRTOS project. Any suggestion is welcome.
Regards,
Stefano

I currently use the maven subset that comes with Eclipse, it should be enough for building the plug-ins.
for proxy setting and other such brain damaged configurations, please refer to the appropriate documentation.
regarding the templates, you can try to create a new template, but this route is very difficult.
I'm working on a different approach, using separate packages, that can be created by users, to be used by a generic engine able to create new projects and later manage projects based on them, but it'll take a while until it will be available.
if you are interested on the preliminary specs, you can read them at: http://xcdl.livius.net/wiki
I just fixed a problem with the git repository, HEAD was pointing to a wrong branch, now it must be up-to-date.
could you give it another try?
Hi,
I have cloned the the git repo with success. Is there something particular to check?

are you in the stable branch? do you see a .packs folder?
Yes, I'm in the stable branch there is the ilg.gnuarmeclipse.packs folder. Following is the output of the ls -a command

I updated the wiki pages documenting how to build the plug-ins.
Could you give it a try and let me know if the content is accurate?
Hi,
I have build the plugins in a new workspace following the updated instruction: Build prerequisites and How to build. Very clear and simple. thanks a lot.
But the very good news is the Packs support. :-)

Stefano
any further suggestions? if not, can we close this ticket?
you can close the ticket for me.
Thanks for your support.
Only one note: in the documentation pages you use Eclipse Luna as reference. A project working with Eclipse Kepler doesn't work with Luna for me. It builds with success but the debug session doesn't work. I use:
