XulRunner & SWT over GTK3
by Mickael Istria
Hi all,
Many of us have identified a major bug leading to Eclipse crash when
using JBT 4.2.0.Alpha1 and Eclipse Luna.
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16280 ,
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16308 ,
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16290 .
Xulrunner binaries we have don't work on GTK3 (which is next Eclipse
default implementation for SWT on Linux). Apparently there is no
xulrunner available which works with GTK3, and anyway, the dependency on
discontinued JavaXPCom seems to show that it's impossible to find a set
of compatible SWT/GTK3/XulRunner/JavaXPCom libraries that can work together.
This makes that currently, we don't have any way to get XulRunner and
VPE working on Linux. They currently crash the workbench, but even if we
workaround that (by checking the gtk version used and avoid invoking
xulrunner when using GTK3) we can't have this feature working.
What do we do from here?
It seems like the recommended way (from old messages on JavaXPCom list)
is to use WebKitGTK+ on Linux instead of xulrunner. For more uniformity,
it would require to get rid of xulrunner for other OS and rely fully on
Webkit and a Java binding such as webkit driver.
Is this a right path to follow? If yes, this should be started very
soon, except if we prefer dropping the whole VPE in favour of something
else.
Cheers,

New approach to inter-JBT dependencies
by Mickael Istria
Hi all,
Small steps after small steps, we're coming to a simpler and more
explicit approach to inter-JBT dependency management. We used to have a
composite site linking to all components and consume this in any
component to resolve dependencies. This had major pitfalls:
* It allows cyclic dependencies between components
* Some deleted bundles can remain because they're in the composite
* It is not very explicit in term of what depends on what
So we'll soon get rid of it, and replace this composite by direct
reference to necessary other component sites in root pom (for each
component) and by removing the composite site and related profiles.
Here is how things will change:
https://github.com/mickaelistria/jbosstools-javaee/commit/26c37d2f2f7f263...
Default value for jbosstools-site-stream variable will be controlled by
parent pom.
This change shouldn't require you anything. At the contrary, this change
will be the opportunity for you and us to drop some counter-intuitive
things and save some space in our memories to put nice souvenirs there
instead.
If you have any comment or question, feel free to ask them in
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16309 .
So get ready for a bunch of incoming PR for your component to add these
repositories!
Cheers,

jbosstools-issues backlog
by Max Rydahl Andersen
Hey,
Last week update of mail alias from jira-events(a)lists.jboss.org to issues(a)jboss.org caused a rather big backlog of emails to get put on hold for jbosstools-issues.
Thus if you feel you have missed some jira notifications from jbosstools-issues that should explain it ;)
I am unfortunately only a moderator of the list so I can’t do admin tasks on it - I’ve opened a ticket against help(a)jboss.org to get those resolved.
I’ll let you know when there are movement on getting the mailing list issue fix.
Thanks,
Max

Question on BPEL publisher
by Rob Stryker
Looking over the code of BPEL's publisher, it is very different from
most publishers we have. First, it does not respond to incremental
publish requests. Second, it only works in local mode, not remote mode.
And third, it seems to publish multiple jars, rather than simply
overwriting the previous one. Fourth, the publisher itself seems to keep
a little model of how many jars were deployed with what versions,
something that's pretty non-standard.
I'm currently trying to unify some of the publisher's actions and to
ensure that they work for all use cases. With this in mind, we must
remember we may be switching to a management deployment in the near
future. And, of course, if possible, I'd like to ensure all modules can
be published in some way regardless of configuration.
So I'd like to gather some requirements from you all on how exactly
you'd like a server set up to deploy to RSE mode, or to deploy using
management api only, to actually function with regards to a bpel module.
Thanks.
