Actually I am not looking into it at the present time. I’ll get into it at some point, if it is not fixed before. So if you think you can solve this, I’ll welcome your help. On the side note, I am now an Intellij user, I only start Eclipse to build IvyDE. And I haven’t done Eclipse plugin development in years, so I am not fast. :) > There's another issue to be resolved for local builds to work hassle-free > -- currently, they need an environment variable BUILD_NUMBER set up by > Jenkins. Is it required ? This env variable is only needed when calling the jenkins target. In a dev environment we shouldn't call them. I think in this mailing list we told to run some jenkins target to make easier the setup of the dev environment. But it as actually to call the targets which download and setup Eclipse. That’s why I renamed them, so we should continue to make the proper distinction to the tweaks for Jenkins, and the dev targets. Nicolas
