update-swt

Documentation

Overview

This is a very brittle script (see giveUp()) that tries to update the swt.bzl and jface.bzl files to upgrade SWT and JFace to a new Eclipse release version. To update to a newer version, visit https://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/, choose your version and click on it. The version to pass to this script is the last URL segment and should take the form "[RS]-<version>-<datetime>". This tool uses a bunch of regex's to parse HTML and the .bzl files, and does so in a rigid, but defensive manner. This means that trivial changes to the Eclipse HTML or the .bzl files will likely make the parsing fail, but at least if it succeeds, it's fairly confident that what it got is what it thinks it got.
