This directory contains the source code for the LTTng integration plugins for Eclipse, which includes the generic Tracing and Monitoring Framework (TMF). The plugins are categorized as follows: org.eclipse.linuxtools.ctf.* Common Trace Format (CTF) reader library org.eclipse.linuxtools.gdbtrace.* Support for reading and viewing GDB traces org.eclipse.linuxtools.lttng2.* LTTng 2.x integration org.eclipse.linuxtools.tmf.* Tracing and Monitoring Framework org.eclipse.linuxtools.statesystem.* State System library org.eclipse.linuxtools.tracing.rcp.* Code specific to the RCP version See the plugins.svg file for a diagram showing the dependencies between the different plugins. To set up the environment to build TMF from within Eclipse, see this wiki page: http://wiki.eclipse.org/Linux_Tools_Project/LTTng_Eclipse_Plug-in_Development_Environment_Setup To build the plugins manually using Maven, simply run the following command from the top-level directory: $ mvn clean install The default command will compile and run the unit tests. Running the tests can take some time, to skip them you can append "-Dmaven.test.skip=true" to the 'mvn' command: $ mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true The RCP is not built by default, to build it you need to add "-PtracingRcp" to the 'mvn' command: $ mvn clean install -PtracingRcp -Dmaven.test.skip=true This will build the RCP for all supported architectures. The resulting archives will be placed in org.eclipse.linuxtools.tracing.rcp.product/target/products To build a local p2 update site $ mvn clean install -PbuildUpdateSite This will place the p2 update site under the default location /var/www/tools/tracecompass/nightly/ To change the package location, use: $ mvn clean install -PbuildUpdateSite "-DsiteDestination=" where is the absolute path to destination directory on your disk.
