This is a problem that goes wider than the P2 repo.
yes I know - hence why I moved it to a separate thread.
At the moment, TD 8.0 development has gone down
this road:
TD 8.0 -> Teiid 8+ -> jboss 7+
Thus, upgrading TD features to 8.0 means users will have to upgrade to teiid 8 and jboss
7. They
will lose access to teiid 7 and jboss 5.1 existing installations.
yeah, so users can't use i.e. JBT4/JBDS 6 with Teiid 7/SOA-P ....not unless the teiid
7 plugins can be installed
next to each other somehow.
We have had discussions in TD about trying to bundle both teiid 7 and
teiid 8 jars but its a scary
and very problematic solution.
Yes, because Teiid Designer is hardcoupled to the exact runtime, a runtime that does not
have the same compatibility needs as tools got :(
