Automating An Eclipse RCP Build

Still trying to get Lightning to work and could use help.

I've zipped/uploaded the log files from my efforts here:
http://www.filedropper.com/...

It looks like the main problems are network related: java.net.SocketException: Software caused connection abort: recv failed

But my laptop is not having any network problems; I'm surfing w/o any difficulties....it would be helpful to have a test that somehow pings all servers involved,
to help show where the problem is.

Look for 02-04c\commentary.txt for more detail on these comments.

I'm trying to do these three steps:

a) Loading Lightning -- buckminster.build.feature\ant materialize.target.platform

b) building the Application -- buckminster.build.feature\ant (default target)

c) Running the Tests -- Buckminster.build.feature\ant java-test

The following shows which log files came out of each of the above steps.

1) I ran step a), and got tons of errors, documented in 02-04c\commentary.txt.

2) But perhaps those errors were not relevent? So I proceded with step b). I stuck the log files for step b in 02-04d. This is the most interesting error:
15:11:16.605
!MESSAGE Source location (c:\src\jsource\rcp\bucky\micahhainline-lightning-af50cad\buckminster.build.feature\local-repository-content) must be a valid file-system path.

3) So I created the above file path and ran again, putting the logs in 02-04e. Lots of errors.

4) Just to make the failure complete, I ran step c). Logs are in 02-04f.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Great article. Sure would be nice to have
* a list of the various high-level ant targets to be used,
* what build.xml each target is in (I found 3 build.xml files)
* the main artifacts created by the most important targets
* what order the targets should be called in. Is there a "build all"?
* simple instructions on how to launch the executable artifacts created, like the "production product"
Thanks,
