How to build the plugins from sources

Requirements

• Install Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers from http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/.
• Install DeltaPack from http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads - click on 3.4 link and download the package in the DeltaPack section.
• Download the SDK zip file from [javafx.com] (TBD - at the moment only the installer is available, you have to zip it back)

Get the sources

• svn co https://kenai.com/svn/eplugin~subversion/trunk eplugin

Run the build

• cd eplugin
• ant -DeclipseDir=<path> -Djavafx.sdk.build.url=<url_to_zip> clean build-windows [build-macosx] [build-linux]

for instance on my machine

• ant -DeclipseDir=c:\eclipse -Djavafx.sdk.build.url=file:///C:/sdk/javafx_sdk-1_0-${platform}.zip clean build-windows build-macosx
• where c:\sdk contains
  • javafx_sdk-1_0-windows-i586.zip
  • javafx_sdk-1_0-macosx-universal.dmg

You can also make use of the environment variable ECLIPSE_HOME. For instance, on my GNU/Linux machine:

• export ECLIPSE_HOME=/opt/eclipse
• ant -Djavafx.sdk.build.url=file:://opt/javafx/javafx_sdk_1.0-linux-i586.zip clean build

BTW, you can get the unofficial (!) GNU/Linux version of JavaFX 1.0 at Silveira Neto's blog.
