title: Eclipse v4.5 without delta-pack: How to perform a multiplatform headless PDE build?
body: <p>Now that eclipse 4.5 is out and the eclipse team decided to not build the so-called "delta-pack" anymore, I don'tknow how to perform a PDE headless build with ant..</p>
  
  <p>Official PDE build documentation here <a href="http://help.eclipse.org/mars/index.jsp?nav=%2F4_2_0">http://help.eclipse.org/mars/index.jsp?nav=%2F4_2_0</a><br>
  states that variable "baseLocation" should point to "the location of an eclipse install containing all the pre-built features and plug-ins that your product requires in features/ and plugins/ subdirectories"</p>
  
  <p>With v4.4, it was easy, this variable was pointing to the location of the unzipped delta-pack with all the platform specific stuff</p>
  
  <p>But with v4.5, how to obtain/setup this "location of an eclipse install containing all the pre-built features and plug-ins..." ?</p>
  
  <p>Here <a href="https://wiki.eclipse.org/Building">https://wiki.eclipse.org/Building</a> , it is explained the "Preferred way of doing multi-platform builds", this is for build from eclipse only, not headless builds and this does not create a structure with features/plugins required for the multiplatform build anywhere.</p>
  
  <p>So I don't know how to set the "baseLocation" variable to in my build...</p>
  
  <p>Thx </p>
  
  <p>(FYI, tycho is not -yet- an option for us..)</p>
