Add swt verification build

[laeubi]

This will hopefully catch some issues earlier in the future.

FYI @HeikoKlare

@HeikoKlare for some reason the SWT build succeeds here so do I need to enable something special?

[HeikoKlare]

The build succeeds, but when looking at the logs it does not seem to do anything meaningful. It seem to fail at some early point of execution without making it the action fail, doesn't it? I cannot see any information about bundles being compiled. But I also cannot tell what's wrong with the actions specification so that the action is not executed properly.

Even if that was fixed, the build may succeed because it's only executed on Linux. For some reasons the GH actions Linux build for SWT currently succeeds. Only the MacOS builds are affected. As you guessed, this may be for reasons of ordering. So if we want to have that additional workflow fail for the current issue in SWT, we would probably have to make it a Matrix build also being executed on MacOS.

I enabled the test and now something is borked, before it run without a problem :-\

Good point, it seems I need to setup a matrix-build for this case.

I am not familiar with the existing verification builds, but taking a look at logs of the existing ones, they do also not provide reasonable information about the Maven build / indicate a proper execution of the Maven build. Is this intended/expected or may there be some issue with these verification builds overall?
For example, the Eclipse Platform Individual Bundles Build has similar logs. I took at look at, e.g., this build from some days ago: https://github.com/eclipse-tycho/tycho/actions/runs/10935901809/job/30358488371

Actually it should look like a usual maven build ... seems I need to take a look but can't spot anything obvious the log looks like the process just terminates somehow.

At least the ibuild looks fine, except the usual failure due to the CBI plugin:

If I see correctly, the first verification build (Verify Eclipse Platform Aggregator Build) seems to work fine, while the existing second (Verify Eclipse Platform Individual Bundles Build) and the one contributed in this PR do not run as expected. The only real difference I see is in the configuration of the toolchain and settings files for that build, though I am not sure whether them being missing may cause the issues:

tycho/.github/workflows/verify-platform.yml

Line 66 in 6c80860

--global-toolchains ${{ github.workspace }}/tycho/.github/toolchains.xml

tycho/.github/workflows/verify-platform.yml

Line 68 in 6c80860

--settings ${{ github.workspace }}/tycho/.github/settings.xml

This one is fine now.

I now added a matrix for the SWT test lets see what happens.

[laeubi]

Okay now windows can't evaluate the shell expression to find the Maven version

mvn -ntp --batch-mode -Pbuild-individual-bundles -Pbree-libs -DskipTests -Dtycho.version=$(mvn help:evaluate -f D:\a\tycho\tycho/tycho -Dexpression=project.version -q -DforceStdout) -T1C clean verify

anyone has an idea for a cross-platform solution?!?

[merks]

Are you expecting it to invoke powershell rather than sh.exe or bash.exe?

Good point I tried to configure bash as a shell explicitly now.

[laeubi]

It is getting further but now path separators are messed up:

-Dtycho.version=$(mvn help:evaluate -f D:\a\tycho\tycho/tycho -Dexpression=project.version -q -DforceStdout)

Interestingly the Windows build now works but the aggregator build shows the compile problem ...
