Description Anthony Hunter

The common modeling build scripts can be started from our modeling php web pages. 
We have a hard coded list of build server names that trigger build web pages if the web server is a build server. For example build.eclipse.org and modeling.eclipse.org are obvious.

There are also some historical IBM build servers, like emf.torolab.ibm.com, hard coded in the php code.

If I want to set up a local build server, I cannot, even though according to the release guidelines we are supposed to permit this.

As a workaround, we can run a web server with the generic hostname localhost.

If we check for localhost in the php pages, then we can trigger the build pages.

I have successfully setup a build server on my local Ubuntu workstation with these changes.

These changes can be committed for sharing.
