Since 2.2.2.REL

Highlights

Gradle

We now fully support using Gradle as the headless build tool.

In fact, we like it so much that it's become the preferred solution over the Ant build, which is now deprecated and will be removed in a future release (unless someone volunteers to maintain them).

The Ant build and the Gradle build live side-by-side and have no interference.

Adding The Gradle Templates To Your Existing Workspace

Create a new cnf project in a temporary workspace and recursively copy from the root of the temporary workspace into the root of your workspace:

  • build.gradle
  • BUILDING-GRADLE.md
  • settings.gradle
  • cnf/build.gradle.properties
  • cnf/gradle

Also, in the .gitignore in the root of your workspace add:

/.gradle/
/reports/
/generated/

Project Layouts

During project creation we can now also generate the default Maven layout and setup the bnd.bnd file in the corresponding way.

And we go even further: you can modify the project layout yourself and we'll generate the correct settings in the bnd.bnd file!

Notes

  • Gradle is now supported by bndtools. In fact, it's the preferred headless build solution.
  • The Ant headless build solution is deprecated and will be removed in a future release.
  • The ACE plugins were removed since they were deprecated by their maintainers.
  • We added JUnit 4 support for regular (non-integration) tests to the project templates. Integration tests are restricted to JUnit 3 until we find the time and inspiration to update our JUnit runner (patches welcome!). If you're creating a new project in an existing workspace (with an existing cnf) then you might want to add the JUnit and Hamcrest-Core jars to your buildrepo, or re-create your cnf.

Misc

  • The Ant headless build template files will now use the build.ant.properties file instead of the build.properties file.
  • The old gradle plugin was removed.
  • Bndtools itself is now built with Gradle, and can no longer be built with Ant
  • The internal architecture for headless build plugins and version control ignores was refactored to use Declarative Services. This makes it much easier to add your own plugins.
  • If you encounter build problems like
Using local cache;
  downloading https://github.com/bndtools/bundle-hub/raw/master/index.xml.gz failed
  (javax.net.ssl.SSLProtocolException: handshake alert:  unrecognized_name).

Then you might want to add to your eclipse.ini:

-Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false

And/Or build like

gradle -Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false build dist
