Hi While there is nothing wrong with looking at other packages for inspiration, neither of those are build eclipse plugins or rcps. Though, I cannot recommend any better source of inspiration at the current time.

I cannot recommend attempting to emulate this with regular ant; also the ant-wrapper itself is run via eclipse - which tends to make it try and create/access $HOME/.eclipse, causing FTBFS on the buildd machines (e.g. see #480693). eclipse-build (our direct upstream for eclipse) has managed to compile a few scripts that can build an eclipse feature/plugin while hiding most of the difficulties of beating eclipse into behaving sanely during a headless build. Furthermore we have begun creating debian specific helper systems to use these scripts. This is one of the reasons why I would like to see your git repository - to see if there is anything we can do to assist you and the application you are building. > Best regards > > Niklaus > > ~Niels bug-links: http://bugs.debian.org/480693
