To set up the build, do the following:

1. Import and configure the build project.

* Import the three projects into your Eclipse workspace.

* In the build.properties file in this project, set the "eclipseLocation" property to your Eclipse installation location.

* Modify the two "version" properties at the top of the build.properties file to match the versions of the plug-ins in your Eclipse installation. The version numbers currently reflect the Eclipse 3.4 release.

* Modify the "configs" property to specify the platform you wish to build for. It is currently set to build for win32.

2. Create the build target.

* Create a directory called c:\helloworld-build-target.

* Unzip both the RCP Runtime Binary and the RCP Delta Pack into that directory. Some of the files overlap and it's ok to overwrite them.


3. Run the build.

* In your Eclipse workspace, right click on the build.xml file in this project and choose Run As -> Ant Build from the context menu.


4. Verify the build.

* When the build completes, navigate to c:\helloworld-build\I.HelloWorld and unzip the HelloWorld-win32.win32.x86.zip file to some place on your hard drive.

* Locate and execute the helloworld.exe file to verify that the application runs.
