Abstract

This talk introduces b3, Eclipse's third generation build framework, i.e., the successor for PDE build and Buckminster. It combines the best of both these Eclipse build technologies with a focus on declarative models that integrate with other well-established build technologies such as Ant and Maven. A goal of b3 is to support an extensible build engine that's driven by simple high-level declarative descriptions of what's available and what needs to be produced from those things.
