Description Duane Cawthron

2010-05-14 15:28:37 EDT

Build Identifier: 3.6M7 -- Version: 3.6.0 Build id: I20100429-1549

This changed from 3.6M6 to 3.6M7. It seems like a bug to me. Maybe, it is the intended behavior.

When I run a PDE product build (also happens with feature build, Eclipse tries to access http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/updates/3.6/p2.index. Being behind a proxy server, I see the errors below. I can remove the errors by setting the proxy configuration in Eclipse.

But, the real issue is that I want my build to be reproducible. I don't want PDE to access anything from the network that I did not specify. If the build is dependent on a network resource that changes; then, the build will not be reproducible.

Why does the build access download.eclipse.org? How can I stop this?

I suspect this is bug 312687.  The "repo2runnable" task mentioned there is used during the product build by "eclipse.brand.p2.artifacts".  As well as any feature build defining the "repoBaseLocation" property to transform repositories for the build.

Please try a RC1 candidate, I20100513-0800 or newer
