CBI Tycho Example

This repo contains an example to test the CBI infrastructure at Eclipse. It contains an Eclipse plugin which is used to create a feature and a p2 repository. The parent pom.xml covers the basic configuration required to upload the built artifacts to repo.eclipse.org as well as sign the code using Eclipse infrastructure.

Building CBI Tycho Example

Simply run:

mvn clean verify

If building on the CI infrastructure at Eclipse you can also sign the build by passing the 'release' profile:

mvn clean verify -Prelease

Creating a Jenkins freestyle job

The following steps will create a Jenkins freestyle job that does signing and deploys the build artifacts to the CBI project's downloads area.

1. Click New Job
2. Enter a job name, e.g. 'eclipse-cbi-tycho-example-job'
3. Select Build a free-style software job
4. Click OK
5. For JDK, select openjdk-jdk17-latest
6. Select This project is parameterized
7. Click Add Parameter > String Parameter
   • Name: SITE_DIR
   • Default Value: /home/data/httpd/download.eclipse.org/your-project/some/subdir
     • (Modify to point to some directory in your project's downloads area).
8. Click Add Parameter > Boolean Parameter
   • Name: DEPLOY
9. Under Source Code Management select Git
   • Enter the URL for your git repo: e.g. https://github.com/eclipse-cbi/eclipse-cbi-tycho-example
   • Select branch main
10. Under Build Environment select SSH Agent
    • From the drop-down menu select ssh://<bot-username>@projects-storage.eclipse.org
11. Under Build click Add build step, select Invoke top-level Maven targets
    • Set Goals to be clean verify -Prelease -B
12. Click Add build step again, select Execute Shell
13. Below is an example shell script:

#!/bin/bash

login="<bot-username>@projects-storage.eclipse.org"

if [[ "${DEPLOY}" == true ]]; then
  echo "Deploying..."
  #check if dir already exists
  if ssh ${login} test -d ${SITE_DIR}; then
    ssh ${login} rm -rf ${SITE_DIR}
  fi
  ssh ${login} mkdir -p ${SITE_DIR}
  scp -r org.eclipse.cbi.tycho.example.updatesite/target/repository ${login}:${SITE_DIR}
fi

<bot-username> is "genie.<shortname>". E.g. for Eclipse CBI it's "genie.cbi".

14. Click Save

At this point test that the build is able to build successfully by clicking Build Now with

Deploying a build

1. Click Build with Parameters
2. Select DEPLOY checkbox
3. Click on Build
