[jbosstools-dev] Integration tests on coretests update site?

[Nick Boldt]

https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12974?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12735154#comment-12735423

Note too that this issue is set to 4.1.x so it's downstream in priority 
from me getting 4.0.0 out the door. :)

You might also consider solving this in the reverse order, by adding the 
contents of 
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/coretests to your 
swtbot/reddeer site, so everything is in one place.

Or, perhaps simpler... provide a composite site URL which contains 
references to reddeer, swtbot integration tests, coretests and soatests, 
so that a SINGLE URL is needed to install any/all of the test features.

Having it on the coretests site would solve this. Also, I have some jobs for the EAP QA team set up on the main jboss jenkins instance and it works the same way - unless bot ext is on the coretests site it needs to be build first. I'm not saying that it is such a big problem but I think it would make sense to have this in the coretests site if possible.
