PDE/Build is the recommended tool for performing automated headless builds of standard Eclipse artifacts such as RCP products, SDKs, bundles and features. Eclipse itself is built using PDE/Build. This tutorial is an introduction to getting started with PDE/Build. It will demonstrate how easy it can be to set up a simple build as well as how the build can be extended and customized to meet your needs.

Pascal is a developer with IBM Rational Software at the IBM Ottawa labs (formerly Object Technology International) since 2002 where he leads the development of equinox p2. Before that he has been the PDE Build lead and played a key role in the development of the OSGi based runtime from the first prototypes developed in the Equinox project to its integration in Eclipse. Pascal holds a Master degree from the ESSI (France) and a PhD from the University of Nice (France).

Andrew is a developer with IBM Rational Software in the Ottawa lab and is a commiter on both the PDE Build and Equinox projects. Before joining the Eclipse platform team, he worked on the Eclipse CDT project. Andrew holds a BMath degree from the University of Waterloo.
