Building eclipse
================

Building eclipse from source takes about 3 GB of free harddisk space
beyond the source and the Build-Depends. Furthermore it takes up to
2 GB RAM during the build.

Creating orig.tar-files
=======================

The orig.tar-files contains both the "packaging" ("eclipse-build") source
from "Linux Tools" Eclipse subproject as well as "eclipse" source code
modified by the Linux Tools subproject.

Constructing the orig.tar-files is done via the following steps:
 * Fetch the eclipse-build from Linux Tools and rename it to
   eclipse_${VERSION}.orig.tar.bz2
 * Fetch and rename the "eclipse-${VERSION}-src.tar.bz2" tarball to
   eclipse_${VERSION}.orig-eclipse.tar.bz2
See debian/watch file for download links.

SVN checkout
============

The Debian package may use a SVN checkout of the eclipse-build tar.
The tree should look like this (excluding "uninteresting" files
and folders):

eclipse-build/ # SVN checkout
|-- eclipse-build-config/ # Separate SVN checkout
|-- eclipse-build-feature/ # Separate SVN checkout
`-- <files/dirs from eclipse-build> # "uninteresting" files/dirs.

The folder called "eclipse-build" here should be root of the tar.gz.

More information
================

There is more information about compiling eclipse using Linux Tools'
eclipse-build along with URLs for SVN and source download links:
