The plugins are categorized as follows:
org.eclipse.linuxtools.ctf.* Common Trace Format (CTF) reader library
org.eclipse.linuxtools.gdbtrace.* Support for reading and viewing GDB traces
-org.eclipse.linuxtools.lttng* LTTng 2.x integration
+org.eclipse.linuxtools.lttng2.* LTTng 2.x integration
org.eclipse.linuxtools.tmf.* Tracing and Monitoring Framework
+org.eclipse.linuxtools.statesystem.* State System library
org.eclipse.linuxtools.tracing.rcp.* Code specific to the RCP version
+See the plugins.svg file for a diagram showing the dependencies between the
+different plugins.

To set up the environment to build TMF from within Eclipse, see this wiki page:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/Linux_Tools_Project/LTTng_Eclipse_Plug-in_Development_Environment_Setup
-To build the plugins manually, first cd to the directory then invoke Maven:
-$ cd lttng/
+To build the plugins manually using Maven, you first need to build the Linux Tools target definition
+ (starting from the root of the source tree):
+$ cd releng/org.eclipse.linuxtools.target
+$ mvn clean install
+Then you can build the LTTng plugins:
+$ cd ../../lttng
$ mvn clean install
+As long as you don't clear the Maven reactor cache (in ~/.m2), you should not
+need to rebuild the target definition.
+
+
The default command will compile and run the unit tests. Running the tests can
take some time, to skip them you can append "-Dmaven.test.skip=true" to the
'mvn' command:
$ mvn clean install -Dmaven.test.skip=true
+
The RCP is not built by default, to build it you need to add "-PtracingRcp" to
the 'mvn' command:
$ mvn clean install -PtracingRcp -Dmaven.test.skip=true
This will build the RCP for all supported architectures. The resulting archives
will be placed in lttng/org.eclipse.linuxtools.tracing.rcp.product/target/products
+
+To build a local p2 update site (LTTng integration only)
+$ mvn clean install -PlttngPackage
+
+This will place the p2 update site under the default location
+/var/www/tools/linuxtools/lttng/update-nightly/
+
+To change the package location, use:
+$ mvn clean install -PlttngPackage "-DlttngPackageDestination=<package destination>"
+
+where <package destination> is the absolute path to destination directory on your disk.
