The build configuration is a critical file required to build the release.

A sample build configuration (build-config.js) looks as follows:


var CKBUILDER_CONFIG = {
  skin : 'kama',
  ignore : [
      '_dev',
      '.gitignore',
      '.gitattributes'
  ],
  plugins :
  {
      a11yhelp : 1,
      about : 1,
     // more plugins
  },
  js : [
     '/path/to/file1.js,start'
     '/path/to/file2.js,aftercore',
     '/path/to/file3.js,end',
     '/path/to/file4.js',
  ]
}


[PROPERTIES]
    skin         The name of the default skin.
    ignore       The set of files/folders to ignore.
    plugins      The list of plugins to include in the release.
    js           An optional array of javascript files to append at the end
                 of ckeditor.js.
                 It is possible to specify precisely, where the file should
                 be added to ckeditor.js. Add a colon and one of the
                 properties: start, aftercore, end.
                    start       prepend javascript files at the beginning of
                                ckeditor.js
                    aftercore   add javascript files in the middle of
                                ckeditor.js, before plugin files
                    end         add javascript files at the end (default).


In oder to generate the base build configuration file (build-config.js), run the
following command:

    node ckbuilder.js --generate-build-config ckeditor-dev

("ckeditor-dev" is the name of a folder with source files).

After commenting out plugins that are not needed, to build the release run:

    node ckbuilder.js --build ckeditor-dev release --version 4.0
