Re: [jbosstools-dev] Proposed change to JBT 4.40.Beta4-SNAPSHOT target platform: remove {egit/jgit}, update {m2e-wro4j, tern, angularJS}, add {vpe.cordovasim, maven.jbosspackaging, common.mylyn}

OK, so then these connectors can't easily be installed into JBDS via offline. Or the connectors need to be changed to omit the aforementioned features, which may make them installable but non-functional. https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-discovery/blob/master/jbdevstudi... https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-discovery/blob/master/jbdevstudi... https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-discovery/blob/master/jbdevstudi... Alternatively, I could add these features back into the JBDS installer so that they're available for offline Central installs. This is still my preferred solution as it's the least maintenance required between milestones (Central TP doesn't need updating each time we release a milestone). Or we can go back to option (a), which is to tell people that for Central offline installs, you need: * JBDS installer (642 or 504M), * Central update site (115M), AND now as well: * JBDS update site (855M) For Beta2, you only needed the installer and Central update site. This change -- losing these three features from the installer jar -- means forcing an additional download onto users. That download is 855M. I would rather these three tiny features be in the installer, but since Denis rejected that solution, I would next rather they be added to the Central site so they can be found offline. -- Nick Boldt :: JBoss by Red Hat Productization Lead :: JBoss Tools & Dev Studio http://nick.divbyzero.com
