[jbosstools-dev] Advice for building jbosstools-* projects using the new photon-based target platform

Until all the projects are updated to build cleanly with the new Photon-based dependencies (like Red Deer 2.1 instead of 2.0 and Eclipse 4.8 instead of 4.7.3a), and have built in Jenkins, you'll have to build the whole set of projects locally in order to build a downstream one like jbosstools-central. As you can see from the root pom [1], Central depends on several upstream projects: base, server, javaee, portlet (?), jst, hibernate, vpe. [1] https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-central/blob/master/pom.xml#L27-L62 Once you've built the upstream projects locally (using `mvn clean install -DskipTests if you're in a hurry), you can then pass those urls to the downstream builds with -Djbosstools-server-site=file:///path/to/jbosstools-server/site/target/repository/ You could also build using the older parent pom, version 4.7.3.Final-SNAPSHOT, but then pass in these variables to ensure you're using the correct TP and will be correctly nagged about version bumps where needed: -DTARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION_MIN=4.71.1.Final -DTARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION_MAX=4.73.1.Final -DTARGET_PLATFORM_CENTRAL_MAX=4.73.0.Final-SNAPSHOT -DBUILD_ALIAS=AM1 Hope that helps! Meanwhile, base, forge, fuse extras, and the openshift restclient are *green*. Let's get the rest fixed ASAP!
