   1 This directory contains the source code for the LTTng integration plugins for
   2 Eclipse, which includes the generic Tracing and Monitoring Framework (TMF).

   4 The plugins are categorized as follows:
   5 org.eclipse.linuxtools.ctf.*          Common Trace Format (CTF) reader library
   6 org.eclipse.linuxtools.gdbtrace.*     Support for reading and viewing GDB traces
   7 org.eclipse.linuxtools.lttng*         LTTng 2.x integration
   8 org.eclipse.linuxtools.tmf.*          Tracing and Monitoring Framework
   9 org.eclipse.linuxtools.tracing.rcp.*  Code specific to the RCP version

  18 To build it using Maven, you first need to build the Linux Tools licensing
  19 feature (starting from the root of the source tree):
  20 $ cd releng/org.eclipse.linuxtools.license-feature
  21 $ mvn clean install
  22 Then you can build the LTTng plugins:
  23 $ cd ../../lttng
  24 $ mvn clean install
  25
  26 As long as you don't clear the Maven reactor cache (in ~/.m2), you should not
  27 need to rebuild the licensing feature.

  30 The default command will compile and run the unit tests. Running the tests can
  31 take some time, to skip them you can append "-Dmaven.test.skip=true" to the
  32 'mvn' command:
  33 $ mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
  34
  35 The RCP is not built by default, to build it you need to add "-PtracingRcp" to
  36 the 'mvn' command:
  37 $ mvn clean install -PtracingRcp -Dmaven.test.skip=true
  38
  39 This will build the RCP for all supported architectures. The resulting archives
  40 will be placed in lttng/org.eclipse.linuxtools.tracing.rcp.product/target/products
