title: How can I build an Eclipse plugin outside of Eclipse?
body: <p>I have a series of Eclipse projects containing a number of plugins and features that are checked into CVS. I now need to run an automated build of these plugins. Ideally I'd like to do it without having to hardcode large numbers of Eclipse library locations by hand, which has been the problem with the automatically generated Ant files that Eclipse provides. The build also needs to run headlessly.</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have experience of this sort of set-up with Eclipse, and recommendations for how to achieve it?</p>
