I assume to build the Equinox binaries on Mac the requirements are the same as for SWT, as we have discussed in eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.swt#1174 (comment).
@Phillipus or @HeikoKlare is that correct?

@HannesWell Yes, I think so. I've built the binaries on my Mac with just the Command Line Tools installed.

@merks can you tell if there is already a manual for beginners how to use/apply an Oomph setup at a common location? I don't think it sustainable to repeat the steps in each repo, like it is for example done in m2e:

Generally everyone's configuration has a link to this:
Yes, in the wiki I know. 😢
https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Platform_SDK_Provisioning
Indeed it's silly to repeat such instructions everywhere because they all follow the same pattern.

Thanks for the hint!
I didn't saw it because the link in the buttons was wrong. 🤦🏽♂️ Good that this is fixed.
Yes, in the wiki I know. 😢
That's sufficient for now. In the future it would be nice to have the instructions for example right at that page in a sub-section or at a place with a better future? I can look into that at another time.

Add Oomph setup buttons to the bottom of the README and in the CONTRIBUTING.md
