== 3.2.x / 4.x ==
I've updated the TP for use with JBT 3.2.x / JBDS 4.x to use the latest
Helios SR2 bits, *including Eclipse 3.6.2 and WTP 3.2.3.*
This is newer than what we used for JBT 3.2.0 / JBDS 4.0.0, and while it
SHOULD be drop-in compatible, it has unfortunately surfaced at least one
problem [0]:
[0] https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-8523
The TP has been rebuilt and is smaller than before (I cleaned out the
cruft leftover from 3.6.1R and 3.6.2M being combined into a single
repo). I've also added a flag to the TP build jobs so that you can
easily do a complete clean before building, rather than building on top
of an existing one. Takes longer but guarantees there's only ONE version
of any given feature/plugin.
If you need access to the TP, it's here [1]:
[1] http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/target-platform/
== 3.3 / 5.0 in trunk ==
The current TP for use with trunk [2] is also Helios SR2 (Eclipse 3.6.2,
WTP 3.2.3, etc.), but will change to 3.7M5 when we're all ready to
switch over.
*This is a good time to start testing your component with the new
Eclipse 3.7 and see how badly broken it is.*
[2] http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/target-platform_trunk
== 3.3 / 5.0 in 3.3.indigo branch ==
The work-in-progress TP for use with the 3.3.indigo branch [3] currently
contains Eclipse 3.7M5 and WTP 3.3M5:
[3] http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/target-platform_3.3.indigo/
Once that's ready, I'll start spinning jobs in Hudson which build
against this TP instead of the Helios-based one, to see how much
breakage we have & how much work will be required to migrate.
== More Mirroring! ==
I'm also working to have ALL the eclipse.org bits we use mirrored on
download.jboss.org so there won't be any surprises along the way for the
3.3 / 5.0 release as we move up from milestone to milestone. You can
track the work to create these mirrors, and get the 3.3.indigo branch TP
working, here [4]:
[4] https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-8489
Mirrors will be added to the list here [5], should you want to install
things one-by-one or see what versions are available:
[5] http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/requirements/
I am also working to combine these mirrors together into a single
composite update site [6] using the latest approved version (eg., SWTBot
2.0.3, Eclipse 3.7M5) so it's easy to install stuff for testing.
