Re: [jbosstools-dev] Proposed change to JBoss Central 4.40.0.Beta3-SNAPSHOT target platform: updated version of PMD & removal of duplicate content already in upstream TP

Here is a proposal for a change to the JBoss Central 4.40.0.Beta3-SNAPSHOT target platform: 1. https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-download.jboss.org/pull/368 2. https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-discovery/pull/168 It consists in the following change: * JBIDE-14971 Generate Abstract Syntax Tree fails - so update to PMD 4.0.3 I would also like to push this PR, which resolves missing upstream dependencies by merging the Central (and new Central Early Access TP) with the JBT TP. https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-discovery/pull/167 It consists of the following change: * JBIDE-17560 use JBTIS style of TP merging for JBT Central and Early Access TPs, in order to reduce dupe entries in the TPs -- p2diff report: < net.sourceforge.pmd.eclipse.feature.group [4.0.2.v20131031-1124] < net.sourceforge.pmd.eclipse.feature.jar [4.0.2.v20131031-1124] < net.sourceforge.pmd.eclipse.plugin [4.0.2.v20131031-1124] > net.sourceforge.pmd.eclipse.feature.group [4.0.3.v20140427-0831] > net.sourceforge.pmd.eclipse.plugin [4.0.3.v20140427-0831] > net.sourceforge.pmd.eclipse.feature.jar [4.0.3.v20140427-0831] -- Please review the above PR(s), as it will be applied in the next *2 days*. (If there are no objections to the above PRs, I will push in PR 169, which combines both into a single merged PR.) https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-discovery/pull/169 You can use the following to build & test the TP locally against your component(s). Build target-platform: $ cd jbosstools-discovery $ git fetch nickboldt JBIDE-14971_merged $ git checkout FETCH_HEAD To build and verify, perform these steps: https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-devdoc/blob/master/building/targ... Or use this script: https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-build-ci/blob/master/util/verify... -- Once you've built the target platform you can use it as the back end to Central like this: https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-discovery/blob/master/README.dis... (Or you can just install from the target platform site directly into Eclipse / JBDS, which is much easier but the same UI experience.) -- If you want to perform a scripted install of the entire target platform into your local Eclipse or JBDS instance, you can now do so with this script: https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-build-ci/blob/master/util/verify... Usage is documented in the above script, and in this README: https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-devdoc/blob/master/building/targ...
