[jbosstools-dev] FYI: New JBT/JBDS Target Platforms for Kepler M4, Juno R and Juno SR0 (M5 and SR2 coming next month)

After much refactoring, renaming, reorganizing, and (hopefully soon) publishing to a github repo, we have 3 new target platforms for use with builds. These have as yet NOT been coupled up into the parent poms for the 40x/60x and 41x/70x streams so that you can have some time to try them out. How do you use them? Via a standard maven build, but passing in this additional flag: > mvn clean install ... -DTARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION=4.20.5.Final-SNAPSHOT Changes to the previous target platforms (other than refactoring [5] and migration to a new github repo [6]) include the removal of source and sdk features [7], so these are slimmer and trimmer than their predecessors, previously referred to as JunoSR0c and JunoSR1a. The new TPs, rather than being named for an Eclipse release train, will now be named for the version of Eclipse included therein. Thus: * JunoSR0c (the 4th iteration) would be called 4.20.4.Final-SNAPSHOT * JunoSR1a (the 2nd iteration) would be called 4.21.2.Final-SNAPSHOT Therefore the new target platforms are: * 4.20.5.Final-SNAPSHOT * 4.21.3.Final-SNAPSHOT * 4.30.0.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT These are available here for JBT [1] and JBDS [2]: [1] http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/targetplatforms/jbosstoolstarget/ [2] http://www.qa.jboss.com/binaries/RHDS/targetplatforms/jbdevstudiotarget/ They are also mirrored for use with Jenkins - see settings.xml [3] for details. [3] https://svn.jboss.org/repos/devstudio/trunk/hudson-jobs/settings/hudson-s... All the TPs are being built with a single job [9], which next month will grow to include target platforms for Juno SR2 (4.22.0.Final-SNAPSHOT) and Kepler M5 (4.30.1.Alpha1-SNAPSHOT). [9] https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/view/DevStudio/view/Targ... Publishing to the JBoss Nexus snapshots repo is now done to this path [4], under which you'll now see jbdevstudio-multiple, jbdevstudio-unified, jbosstools-multiple, & jbosstools-unified. We are still making a distinction between multiple.target, which includes multiple URLs, and unified.target, which points to the single unified URL to which the TP is published ([1] or [2] above).
