[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JBBUILD-251) Pulling down src or binaries based upon configuration

Pulling down src or binaries based upon configuration ----------------------------------------------------- Key: JBBUILD-251 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBBUILD-251 Project: JBoss Build System Issue Type: Feature Request Components: Maven Reporter: Ruel Loehr Fix For: JBossBuild - Maint 2008 Original Estimate: 4 days Remaining Estimate: 4 days From Adrian on the dev list: The problem I don't see addressed (and the main reason why I started the jbossbuild prototype) is to have a top level which includes multiple projects. e.g. I wanted people to be able to do something like: <build> <component name="JBossAS" download="binary" quality="LastGoodTests"> <component name="EJB3" download="source"/> </component> <component name="Seam" download="source"/> </build> This would checkout the last binaries for JBossAS that passed the testsuite (except EJB3 which is latest source) and also Seam. You would then be able to build a Seam environment with just the EJB3 and Seam sources. i.e. the developer only has to worry about the problems with the stuff he is working on, rather than figuring out why something unrelated doesn't compile/work. Instead, the jbossbuild project morphed into a mechanism to download thirdparty binaries with buildmagic still used for the main build.
