EGL build-file format

The structure of a .eglbld file is as follows:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <!DOCTYPE EGL PUBLIC "-//IBM Corporation, Inc.//DTD EGL Build Parts 6.0//EN" "">
   <EGL>
     <!-- place your import statements here -->
     <!-- place your parts here -->
   </EGL>

Specify <import> statements to enable the current build file to refer to parts in other build files. For example, if the next build descriptor in a chain, or another build part that is referred to by a build descriptor option, is in a different build file, you must include an <import> statement to point to the other build file. An example of an <import> statement is as follows:

  <import file="myBldFile.eglbld"/>

You declare parts from this list:

<BindControl>
<BuildDescriptor>
<LinkEdit>
<LinkageOptions>
<ResourceAssociations>

The following is a simple example:

  <EGL>
    <import file="myBldFile.eglbld"/>
    <BuildDescriptor name="myBuildDescriptor"
      genProject="myNextProject"
      system="WIN"
      J2EE="NO"
      genProperties="GLOBAL"
      genDataTables="YES"
      dbms="DB2"
      sqlValidationConnectionURL="jdbc:db2:SAMPLE"
      sqlJDBCDriverClass="COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver"
      sqlDB="jdbc:db2:SAMPLE"
    </BuildDescriptor>
  </EGL>

You can review the build file DTD, which is at the following location:

shared_resources\plugins\
com.ibm.etools.edt.common_version\dtd\egl_6_0.dtd

shared_resources: The shared resources directory for your product, such as C:\Program Files\IBM\SDP70Shared on a Windows system or /opt/IBM/SDP70Shared on a Linux system. If you installed and kept a previous version of an IBM® product containing EGL before installing your current product, you may need to specify the shared resources directory that was set up in the earlier installation.
version: The installed version of the plugin. If more than one is present, use the one with the most recent version number, unless you have a reason to use an older version.

The location of this DTD file should be all on one line.
