- Moved Beta2 release back 3 weeks to account for EclipseWorld,
Consulting gig for Max (Sept 22nd)
Ok.
- We should add a new "ALL" file bundle that includes all
of our plugins
but no Eclipse dependencies.
I thought about this and i think most of my comments on it went lost in
the skype echo, so here is what I suggested:
Keep the same downloads as we have now under the JBoss-IDE 2.0.0.Beta1
category.
add a new category called JBoss-IDE 2.0.0.Beta1-nodeps (or something) that
simply is the exact same plugins but *without*
any external plugins.
...and may I suggest to move all the MD5 files to a seperate category ?
They are the main reason for all the clutter imo (and it is downloaded by
*very* few people)
..and even move the test builds out of the way too.
The result would be something like:
JBoss-IDE 2.0.0.Beta1
HibernateTools-3.2.0.beta7.zip
HibernateTools-Tests-2.0.0.Beta1.zip
JBossIDE-2.0.0.Beta1-ALL.zip
JBossIDE-2.0.0.Beta1-Bundle-linux-gtk.tar.gz
JBossIDE-2.0.0.Beta1-Bundle-win32.zip
JBossIDE-AOP-Developer-1.2.0.Beta1.zip
JBossIDE-Core-2.0.0.Beta1.zip
JBossIDE-Drools-3.0.4.zip
JBossIDE-EJB3-Tools-1.1.0.Beta1.zip
JBossIDE-FreeMarker-1.0.0.Beta1.zip
JBossIDE-JBossAS-Tools-1.0.0.Beta1.zip
JBossIDE-JBossCacheIDE-2.0.0.Beta1.zip
JBossIDE-JBossWS-0.3.2.zip
jBPM-Designer-3.0.11.zip
JBoss-IDE 2.0.0.Beta1-nodeps
HibernateTools-3.2.0.beta7-nodeps.zip
HibernateTools-Tests-2.0.0.Beta1-nodeps.zip
JBossIDE-2.0.0.Beta1-ALL-nodeps.zip
...
JBoss-IDE 2.0.0.Beta1-aux
<all of the above>.MD5
<the tests plugins>.zip
That makes it alot simpler IMO.
Thing to consider is:
a) what about source builds ?
b) should we provide a jbosside-alldeps.zip as a download under the
-nodeps?
- Everyone needs to make sure their feature.xml uses
"import" instead of
"include" for any plugin that is not in your feature (i.e. all eclipse
dependencies)
does the feature.xml in any way control what gets into the .zip file ?
or is that controlled by something else ?
The next step after is to consider simply depending on features instead of
individual plugins..
- We need to collaborate on a presentation for November's JBWorld
Europe.
If i understood correctly here is what we are planning to submit
indivdually:
Koen: Hands-on JBPM which uses the desginer
Olav: 2(?) talks about soapui and the jbosside plugin
Max: Hibernate Tools
(...and someone (Thomas Heute) might also do things in context of Seam)
What I suggest is that we can do a jbosside-BOF or something where we walk
through some of the features of the authors who will be at JBW and then let
people ask questions/suggestions etc. I'll find out who I should contact
inside
JBoss to email them directly instead of a "normal" submission.
