Automating the consumption of Eclipse for internal use

Supporting a large user base implies catering to a lot of different needs.

In Ericsson's case this means building over 20 different eclipse distributions and creating a corporate wide p2 repository to make it easy for our users to get all the plugins they need.
To achieve the necessary customization of each eclipse distro with a high degree of automation, a wide variety of technologies has been used: product files, jenkins, tycho, jbehave, p2 tools, etc.

In this talk, we give an overview of our semi-automated workflow, where each technology fits and give you our tips and tricks.
