Please note this step is only necessary if you plan to create a release for iDempiere, or distribute installers based on your repository.

Creating Server installer

Open Eclipse
Right click on org.adempiere.server-feature
Navigate to Buckminster > Invoke Action...
In the popup dialog select the action create.product.zip
Fill the "Properties file" field by using the "Workspace" button to navigate to the properties file in $IDEMPIERE_REPOSITORY/org.adempiere.server-feature that describes your target operating system and architecture:
- buckminster_linux_gtk_x86_64.properties: installer for 64-bit Linux
- buckminster_linux_gtk_x86.properties: installer for 32-bit Linux
- buckminster_macosx_x86.properties: installer for MAC OS
- buckminster_win32_x86.properties: installer for 32-bit Windows
- if your operating system / architecture is not listed create one by copying one of the files above and editing its contents
Click on "OK" and Buckminster will compile the project using the file "buckminster.cspex"
The new installer file will be $HOME/buckminster.output/org.adempiere.server_4.1.0-eclipse.feature/idempiereServer.gtk.linux.x86_64.zip (or the corresponding name for your OS and architecture)

Creating Swing client installer

Open Eclipse
Right click on org.adempiere.ui.swing-feature
Navigate to Buckminster > Invoke Action...
In the popup dialog select the action create.product.zip
Fill the "Properties file" field by using the "Workspace" button to navigate to the properties file in $IDEMPIERE_REPOSITORY/org.adempiere.ui.swing-feature that describes your target operating system and architecture:
- buckminster_linux_gtk_x86_64.properties: installer for 64-bit Linux
- buckminster_linux_gtk_x86.properties: installer for 32-bit Linux
- buckminster_macosx_x86.properties: installer for MAC OS
- buckminster_win32_x86.properties: installer for 32-bit Windows
- if your operating system / architecture is not listed create one by copying one of the files above and editing its contents
Click on "OK" and Buckminster will compile the project using the file "buckminster.cspex"
The new installer file will be $HOME/buckminster.output/org.adempiere.ui.swing_4.1.0-eclipse.feature/idempiereClient.gtk.linux.x86_64.zip (or the corresponding name for your OS and architecture)
