Debug/DebugRelEng

Introduction

Being part of the Eclipse platform requires that for each I-build in the Eclipse build schedule all of the debug plugins must be released to the build.

This process only has a few requirements:

1. you have all of the required bundles
2. you have commit rights to all of the required bundles
3. you have no pending changes in your RelEng workspace
4. you have EGit and/or Git on the command line

Bundles Needed To Release

Now that Platform / JDT debug in is Git, it is much easier to get the required bundles. You simply have to check out the following two repos:

1. JDT Debug
2. Platform Debug

There is an additional required bundle that contains all of the map files that must be updated, which is: org.eclipse.releng and can be found in the RelEng maps Git repo.
