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

[Mickael Istria (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10871?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12668883#comment-12668883 ] 

Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-10871:
----------------------------------------

Current layout of jars in modules make it quite difficult to automate fetch and assembly with Maven.
However, we could think for creating a maven plugin that would look for fileToFetch.urlfetch files (such as activiation-1.1.jar.urlfetch) containing URL to fetch files, and that would perform a get on this url to replace fileToFetch.urlFetch by fileToFetch. OR something better with .artifactGet files that would simply be replaced by artifacts as they are available in repo.
No trivial solution... And I'm afraid not committing jars will make daily work more annoying for Koen. As for the build, we will need to download these jars, whether we get them from SCM or a maven plugin won't have sensible impact on performances.

> 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 ?
