[jbosstools-dev] Proposed change to JBT 4.40.Beta2-SNAPSHOT target platform: remove GPE/GWT, fix Atlassian

Here is a proposal for a change to the JBoss Tools 4.40.0.Beta2-SNAPSHOT target platform: https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-target-platforms/pull/50 https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-target-platforms/pull/49 https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-target-platforms/pull/48 It consists of the following changes: * JBIDE-16960 Remove unneeded GPE/GWT features/plugins from TP * JBIDE-16910 Atlassian Connector cannot be installed (missing deps) -- The above PRs have already been applied, so you can use the following to try to build the TP locally to test it out: Build target-platform: $ cd jbosstools-target-platforms $ git fetch origin 4.40.x $ git checkout FETCH_HEAD $ cd jbosstools/multiple $ mvn clean install -P \!multiple2repo Try with just built target-platform: $ cd /path/to/your/component $ mvn clean verify -Dtpc.version=4.40.0.Beta2-SNAPSHOT -Pmultiple.target -- If you want to perform a scripted install of the entire target platform into your local Eclipse or JBDS instance, you can now do so with this script: https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-build-ci/blob/master/util/instal... Usage is documented in the above script, and in this README: https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-target-platforms/tree/4.40.x#upd... --- More info: The reason for the removal is that o.j.t.gwt.feature and o.j.t.maven.gwt.feature have been removed from JBoss Tools 4.2.0.Beta1/Beta2. You will notice that with the removal of GPE/GWT from the target platform, its size on disk is now 200M smaller. Big props to Rob Stryker and Jucia Jelinkova for bringing forth these problems. Why remove gwt and maven.gwt, plus the com.google stuff on which they depend? For JBT 4.1 / JBDS 7.1, we deprecated org.jboss.tools.gwt.feature - it's still in 4.1 / 7.1, but it's a hidden feature. For JBT 4.2 / JBDS 8.0, we have removed org.jboss.tools.maven.gwt.feature because much of the com.google stuff on which it depends cannot be installed on Luna. So we either end up with a partially-working install, or we remove it entirely and wait to see if Google actually produces a new GPE/GWT for Luna, including support for Maven. -- Nick Boldt :: JBoss by Red Hat Productization Lead :: JBoss Tools & Dev Studio http://nick.divbyzero.com
