How to build your own Eclipse distribution

Right now if you want to build your own Eclipse distribution edit the product.yml file and run the following command:

./product.rb

This is a bit of a hack right now because the POMs, product and feature files are generated for the Tycho build that produces the distribution, but there is still a directory that contains static resources. Eventually I would like to bundle up the static resources in a resource bundle that can be configured, but for now it is what it is. You can create your own custom Eclipse distribution it's just not 100% parameterized.

Here's a full example of what a product file might look like:

# This generates everything needed to create a distributions
