I think we already have some interesting stuff done, but it's not usable yet
because:
* We cannot deploy it on a Nexus repo yet (discussion in progress with eng-ops to have
full access to an "experimental" repo where we could publish that stuff)
Eh - why is normal jboss repository not ok for this now we know its not automatially
published to maven central?
* Generated reports -using Rob's improvements to support bundles
that don't have apitools enabled- are not easy to read.
@Rob: yes the goal is to run API Tools analysis when no API annotations are present.
It's pretty useful since so far, we've not generated the API description for
bundles, so your fix is a requirement for making API Tools usable in our build.
But, it's not because we did not use them before that it's a bad idea to start
using them from now on. FYI, we'll soon generate API description of bundles, so if you
want to start annotating your APIs, feel free to do it, it's gonna be useful.
Oh yes - using the annotations is all great and recommended.
It was the PDE API tools default behaviour of "scan all projects all the time"
that is killing my eclipse at least ;)
