Headless Eclipse & TeamCity
Anyone have experience with TeamCity and headless eclipse builds?
What's your gut reaction? Possible? Would much of TeamCities functionality be lost -- things like coverage and unit test reports?
Here are some examples of how headless builds can be done running eclipse in headless mode.

Hi,
I did manage to set this up for one of my teams. You are right, we did lose out on the coverage. As for unit tests, I was able to hack something together using ANT to transform the junit report xmls into TC formatted messages which I then echoed back to the console which TC picked up. This at least gave us which tests passed/failed and their stacktraces BUT it did not provide any stats on times.
Hope this helps,
Scott
I can't be of any help (yet) but my plan is to buid Eclipse plugins headlessly. I'd also be interested in hearing any lessons learned from others.
