Re: [jbosside-dev] Re: About feature.xml and bundling plugins (WAS: jBPM Designer feature.xml needs to be updated)

Hi guys, I had a chat with Koen today about to get to the bottom of this fine discussion. To make the long story short here is what will be done short term: 1) Koen will make a feature.xml with import instead of plugin references so JBossIDE 2 beta2 can get out. 2) Koen will also work on a solution for Jbpm's starterkit which depends on having a feature.xml that will let include the plugins. (One suggestion was that they would have two feature.xml's one for the 'no dependencies' feature.xml and another 'starterkit' feature.xml that refers to the 'no dependencies' feature.xml) There probably will/can be issues in this aspect but the faster we get this going (e.g. have the jboss ide build actually running with the files Koen fixes today) the faster we can move forward - I assume this will mostly affect Koen and Marshall so please speak up guys if you need help with solving/fixing some of this. Koen, please correct me if my description of the short-term conclusion is wrong ;) Longer term we will have to figure how jbpm's IDE parts fits into the overall picture of JBossIDE build system; but that will be another mail/discussion when we get over the bumps of releasing jbosside 2 and jbpm 3.something :) p.s. a side conclusion is that feature's in Eclipse is broken and that we need a beer drinking contest in Berlin to get to a final settlement of how to fix it ;) /max
