Nice writeup.

I think at this time obviously we have to change
maven-dependency-plugin declaration
in parent/pom.xml#build/pluginManagement to never skip downloading
dependencies, because it is most common use case. After it is done we can
remove unnecessary <skip>false</skip> throughout the projects.

Yes - your conclusion matches mine on the jira and what mistria suggestion for fixes
and with my updates handles.

Can you make it happen ? :)

I sure can :) 

If there are libs for (2) and (3) downloaded from external URL using
download-maven-plugin/maven-download-plugin we should probably move them to
locus.

Main problem I know is forge, hibernate and openshift afaik.

forge and openshift would not be able to move very fast if we moved their libs for Locus.

Hibernate - we don't actually want/intend to expose the internal apis of hibernate so not
sure if pushing all variations of hibernate into Locus is such a good idea....but it could
be considered.

One thing that might be worth looking for are those bundling mockito or other testing libs
that we might already have put into locus or use from orbit so these are not even relevant anymore.


I mean if we have libs downloaded from external URL, that is stable enough to be included into locus, but it seems we don't have cases like this.
 
so fix would be removing skipping for maven-dependency-plugin if tests skipped and then clean up not needed <skip> tags throughout the projects and manually configure skipping for (1).

Looking in the 4.3.x and master branches, I can only see two poms with
a reference to maven-dependency-plugin or generate-resources, both of
which have their <skip>false</skip> set:

./plugins/org.jboss.tools.openshift.client/pom.xml
./plugins/org.jboss.tools.openshift.express.client/pom.xml

So, how was your openshift build failing? Can you give details
(console log, for example) on how mvn clean install -DskipTests=true
failed?

yes, the build did not work when you run with -DskipTests=true.

I have to run it with just "mvn clean install" to work, just doing "mvn
clean install -DskipTests=true" resulted in failure to build related to the
openshift java client updates.

anyway, lets just fix the issue that requires us to litter
<skip>false</skip>
into components builds. Please.

I cannot replicate that. I was always running full build with

mvn clean install -DskipTests=true

before and after branching of 4.3.x and builds were always fine. I
remember to have problems when new code pushed in tooling referencing
resent changes in client jar, which is not available from maven repository.

nightly full build from master is still available from wonka and it's been
running without any problems for a couple weeks.

what kind of failure you have for openshift build from 4.3.x branch?

on this note - I just spent half the day figuring out why
jbosstools-openshift
was not building when I did "mvn clean install -DskipTests=true".

Turns out I'm hit with this exact issue - that skipTest is for reason I
never understood
is used to turn off download for testing dependencies by turning of
download
of all dependencies.

We need to stop adding workaround for this into our projects and instead
have those few projects
that have large dependencies to use another mechanism to turn of download.

Only one I don't know about is swtbot.test.skip.

The others I don't see how to remove nor why since they all play a part.

This sounds more like should fix how the skip's works rather than remove
them.

The issue in JBIDE-15330 https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15330


seem to because of the many time pointed out bad
assumption that skipTest
should mean you don't want dependencies to be downloaded.

Reported here https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15332 in 2013.

The issue is <skipRequirements>${skipTests}</skipRequirements>
and then skipRequirements are used to disable all basic dependency
fetching
which is simply a wrong/bad assumption.

/max

If your project needs to download upstream libraries/runtimes/jars
using something like maven-dependency-plugin, and you have not set
<skip>false</skip> for those plugins' builds, eg.,
https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-livereload/pull/54/ you
should do so.

This is because I'd like to remove some of the obsolete skip*
variables we have in the parent pom, and you don't want your builds to
fail when skipping tests, as livereload used to before
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15330 was fixed.

Here are all the skip-related variables in our parent pom [1]:

<swtbot.test.skip>true</swtbot.test.skip>
<skipRequirements>${skipTests}</skipRequirements>
<skipPrivateRequirements>true</skipPrivateRequirements>

<skipTestsWithPrivateRequirements>${skipPrivateRequirements}</skipTestsWithPrivateRequirements>
and
skipTestsOrITests (which is true when skipTests or skipITests is true).

[1]
https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-build/blob/master/parent/pom.xml

Which of those are no longer used, that can be safely removed? Are
skipTestsWithPrivateRequirements and skipRequirements used for the
same purposes as skipITests?
