eskimo@desktop:~/Projects/jbt-xulrunner$ ~/Java/apache-maven-3.0-alpha-7/bin/mvn -v Apache Maven 3.0-alpha-7 (r921173; 2010-03-09 14:31:07-0800) Java version: 1.6.0_0 Java home: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk/jre Default locale: en_US, platform encoding: UTF-8 OS name: "linux" version: "2.6.31-21-generic-pae" arch: "i386" Family: "unix"
It is very simple process because Tycho does all work for you. All you need is to follow simple steps below.
Create separate folder for XULRunner build and make it current
eskimo@desktop:~/Projects$ mkdir jbt-xulrunner eskimo@desktop:~/Projects$ cd jbt-xulrunner
Checkout XULRunner component from JBoss Tools Subversion repository. You need to use modular_build branch. It is temporary branch that is going to be merged to trunk next week, but I think it will stay here for a while after merge is happened.
First root only should be checked out from branch to avoid pulling out whole gigantic repository.
eskimo@desktop:~/Projects/jbt-xulrunner$ svn co --depth=files https://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/branches/modular_build .
Then the same should be done for xulrunner component
eskimo@desktop:~/Projects/jbt-xulrunner$ svn co https://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/branches/modular_build/xulrunner
After steps above it gets us to the JBoss Tools repository structure but with the only component.
Next step is pom.xml files generation, because this branch contains only parent-pom.xml in root. Scala is used to do it.
eskimo@desktop:~/Projects/jbt-xulrunner$ scala genpom.scala Generate Agg for ./xulrunner Modules: 8 Aggregator: 4
Now working copy is ready to build XULRunner Eclipse Feature and generate p2-repo for it. Make sure you are using maven3.
eskimo@desktop:~/Projects/jbt-xulrunner$ mvn install
In the end it should look like
[INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Reactor Summary: [INFO] [INFO] trunk .............................................

After that XULRunner Feature can be installed using p2repo from
xulrunner/site/org.mozilla.xulrunner.site/target/site
It should look in Eclipse Update dialog like on images below
