<div class="jive-rendered-content"><p>JBoss Tools is made of a lot of plugins coming from different component, and that are aggregated for ease their installation. There are a lot of repositories. This page is intended to explain what are our repositories, what are they aimed to, and where they are coming from:</p><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><h1>General process</h1><p>Here is the general process of the lifecycle of sites in the build.</p><p><strong>For each stream (branch or trunk) in progress</strong>:</p><ol><li style="text-align: start;">Mirror requirements and composite specific versions into a single Requirements site</li><li style="text-align: start;">Build all common stuff (parent, target-platforms).

It contains the latest good build of each component, including categorization & source features/plugins. A test site is also created, containing only test features/plugins.</li><li style="text-align: start;">After a code-freeze, the nightly snapshot is first staged as a <strong>development milestone</strong> and passed to QE for validation. Upon approval, it is published to www.jboss.org.</li><li style="text-align: start;">After several milestone and validation cycles, we publish our best <strong>development milestone </strong>as a <strong>stable release</strong>.</li></ol><p style="min-height: 8pt; height: 8pt; padding: 0px;"> </p><p style="text-align: start;">The same applies to SOA components.
