Re: [jbosstools-dev] Better place for JBoss Tools mylyn connections.
I created a new plug-in to provide mylyn connections for
issues.jboss.org and bugzila.redhat.com
See details in jira - https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-9351
It's placed in common/plugins/org.jboss.tools.common.mylyn
We set two repositories in this plug-in. Firs one is Bugzilla and second one is JIRA.
The problem is that Bugzilla connector comes from Eclipse Mylyn plugins but JIRA
connector comes from Atlassian update-site.
So we have to have Atlassian plugins installed to get JBoss JIRA repository working.
hmm - I thought/hoped the setup would not have a hard coupling to atlassian plugin - but
just optional dependency.
So there are two questions. What module/feature is better for our
mylyn plug-in? Denis' suggestion is to move this plugin to central.
What do you think?
My first thought was no since initially that would just solve the mylyn dependency issue,
but then I rethought and it actually kinda make sense
that central is the one setting up the jboss.org/fedora/redhat issue systems.
But this doesn't solve the problem of requiring atlassian plugin to be installed.
Can we do one of the following:
A) make the atlassian installation optional - so I don't have to get mylyn tasks +
jira plugins just to use central.
B) make it a separate feature …which then unfortunately would need to be installed
separately :(
