Hey Nick,
Thanks for putting this together and thanks for updating the SwitchYard publish job. That
said, I don't think I'm using it correctly. Any advice would be greatly
appreciated.
Everyone:
I've generalized the script I gave SwitchYard for promoting their
nightlies to development (or stable) so it's much easier to "release"
code to the community. Now with a handful of job parameters, you can
publish your latest nightly on demand as a new build type.
(Aside: you may find I use the terms "promote" or "publish"
interchangeably. That's because the act of "publishing" may include
the
act of renaming or "promoting" a build from a lower status
(nightly/snapshot) to a higher status (milestone/release). Similarly,
"promoting" may include the act of "publishing" bits from within
Jenkins
(lower state, internal only) to
download.jboss.org (higher state,
publicly available). Apologies in advance for the confusion this may
cause.)
Anyhoo... the new script is here [0].
To use this in your own job, simply copy one of the jobs [1], [2]
mentioned below, and you can publish your bits into the standard
JBoss
Tools directory structure.

Rob,
Your SwitchYard-Tools-publish job [1] has been updated and should
work
but I haven't run it because I don't want to actually release one of
your nightlies as a dev milestone. Note too that the order of the
options for which Eclipse platform to use in the published path has
been
reversed as I assume you're now building on Juno, not Indigo (with
possible backward support for Indigo). If that's an incorrect
assumption
it's easy to revert the options' order in the job config.

Dan & Randall,
I've tested this new script with ModeShape-Tools, and published [2]
your
latest nightly [3] as 3.0.0.Beta5, since that's what Dan was trying
to
do earlier today before he contacted me. Here are the jobs [2], [3].
Here's the build promoted by the -publish job [4]. If you weren't
ready
to call it a milestone we can delete it and respin as needed -- or
just
republish on top!
Note too that I moved your older Beta1 release from its old place
under
/modeshape/tools/updates/develop/ to here for consistency [5]. You
might
want to delete it entirely as it uses the old x.y.z.vTIMESTAMP
versioning scheme which can't be updated to the new
x.y.z.Beta5-TIMESTAMP features due to OSGi's versioning rules (users
must uninstall it first).
Oh, and I noticed that your Beta1 was targetted at Indigo, but I
assume
your Beta5 is targetted at Juno. Is that correct?

SOA/BRMS project leads,
I've also created a new view in Jenkins to collate all the
trunk/JBT4/JBDS6 jobs into a single place:
https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/view/SOA-Team/view/SOASt...
If your job(s) aren't listed, please edit the view and add them.
Once it's complete I can spawn a duplicate view (excluding the JBDS
job(s)) which we can push to the public-facing Jenkins server,
similar
to
http://hudson.jboss.org/hudson/view/SOA-Team/view/SOA_Tooling/
Why? Because community!
---
Still to do:
a) generate composite site metadata for all the contributed projects
in
a given folder so that end users can simply look to one URL instead
of
several (JBIDE-12662) - eg.,
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/indigo/soa-tooling/
or
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/development/juno/soa-tooling/
b) generate index.html pages for the sites in place of a bare
directory
listing - requires adding an option to feed in a different header
graphic (JBIDE-12660), as the various SOA/BRMS Tooling projects have
their own branding already - see [5]). Then it's a simple matter of
adapting what's already done for Central [6].
