[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-10871) should forge component include so many jars in SVN?

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10871?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12665738#comment-12665738 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-10871:
------------------------------------

Uh, how about a maven process to fetch the content, then copy it into the right places in the filesystem right before compilation?

I'm doing something similar using a template copy of a .java file, which needs to have a variable resolved in it before it can be compiled [1]. I'm guessing you could do similar to pull files from Nexus and properly locate them.

[1] https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/trunk/central/plugins/org.jboss.tools.central/pom.xml -- see <build> section which calls *maven-resources-plugin* to do a *copy-resources* during the *validate* phase.

How often do you have to update these files? Would it be worth pulling directly from upstream instead of cached copy?

> https://svn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/trunk/forge/plugins/org.jboss.tools.forge.runtime/ used to contain over 46M of jars; after the last SVN update, it's still over 20M. 
> Surely this doesn't need to be in SVN? Couldn't it be fetched during a build, or cached in a user's ~/.m2/repo ?
