How is this red deer stuff going to work ? which updatesites will contain it ? I did not

reddeer being on its own the maintanence of those updatesites and releases needs to be

I saw today there is something like p2-reddeer.rhcloud.com/stable - what is that and why

There have been no info/news on this but now alot of our tests is suddenly dependent on
this making our builds rely on something that is *not* mirrored nor communicated how to

Did I miss something ? i.e. i'm still not following why we want to have separate

RedDeer was initiated to overcome some problems and shortcomings from
SWTBot usage and to bring desired features for functional test
development. Related to JBT it's meant to be used only for
integration/functional tests. During SVN times we decided to have it as
independent of JBT builds and make it available as a project for (not
only JBT) functional testing on Eclipse. Currently there is a code on
Github, wiki on Github and builds on OpenShift. When RedDeer is mature
enough we can consider further steps. Related to dependencies and builds
it's stable as far as OpenShift site is stable.

fine - but why are we adding this as a separate project to jbosstools when its only

and if others need it why not use the jbosstools updatesites for this instead of separate

We have jbosstools target platform and setup copying/mirroring of these to avoid data
getting lost AND to avoid the build being slower when adding new p2 repos.

Yeah, I heard this but never saw any info on it except an initial email where I asked the

create a separate project/build setup for this - its just overhead.

Look, i'm fine you try and create a separate project for testing - thats your choice
to do this; - what i'm not fine about is adding additional p2 repos midstream into the
build of jbosstools.
Thats *not* something that we ever done before (For good reasons: speed, maintanence,
reproducibilit etc.) and if it were to happen you add new dependencies then please raise
this on the mailing list since it
affects everyone, its not just the Brno Office that works on this.

it's meant as standalone project because
it's not a jboss or
jbt-specific so it makes sense to have it like that IMO. One day it can
be part of Eclipse (or JBoss project group maybe, who knows). Looking
back to SWTBot before it was part of Eclipse it had been also single
standalone project as far as I remember. If you are asking for multiple
version sites they provide freedom for test developers to choose to go
to higher version when they want and when they have time to do it
without breaking any tests. Yes, there are more ways how to achieve this.

fine - but why are we adding this as a separate project to jbosstools when its only
jbosstools that needs it ?
Thing is that RedDeer is not a JBT aware. There is no
single JBT
dependency in RedDeer and it's meant as general Eclipse testing
framework. So specific JBT-API based on RedDeer will be part of JBoss
Tools placed in JBT repo, no doubt about it.
and if others need it why not use the jbosstools updatesites for this instead of separate
maintancne for it ?
We have jbosstools target platform and setup copying/mirroring of these to avoid data
getting lost AND to avoid the build being slower when adding new p2 repos.

Explained

again,
it's not JBT related, it's general eclipse testing framework (in
some aspects similar to swtbot)
Look, i'm fine you try and create a separate project for testing - thats your choice

I see, to fit it
in your schema it would be good for you if it's part of
target platform (similar to SWTBot). No problem with that except I'm not
sure if there is a good way howto perform updates smoothly. If there is
a good solution for it I'm in.

No, i'm asking that we treat any external dependency equally - if reddeer is supposed
to be independent and not part of JBT then JBT should have it as part of its target
platform or at least part of its builds for sanity and speed.

Thing is that RedDeer is not a JBT aware. There is no single JBT dependency in RedDeer
and it's meant as general Eclipse testing framework. So specific JBT-API based on
RedDeer will be part of JBoss Tools placed in JBT repo, no doubt about it.
Yes, fine - but as a dependency its using log4j for logging (bad form/not good), its not
available from a stable site and it seems its development is done completely internally
and without considering other alternatives/better ways of doing what it does.
Thats my objections to it.

Explained above.
not explained above - the project is still said to be immature, not releasable and still
want to be separate from the one usecase its used with. That just seems backwards to me.

yes fine - so it should be treated like such a dependency - be mirrored in/part of the
target platform.

My suggestion:
Either do a release of RedDeer as an external project and get it mirrored in or simply
build reddeer as part of jboss tools sites until its mature to stand on its own.

Thanks, so I'm still missing answers to:
Why us this not just build and published as any other plugins we use ? At least while its
maturing so we don't need yet another p2 site to mirror/maintain ?
At face-to-face last year we talked about working on getting the requirements features qe
was doing that now seems part of reddeer made compatible/usable as part of normal unit
testing - any movement on that?
Reddeer seem to use log4j which is not exactly eclipse/osgi friendly - why is that ?
Why so many plugins in the git repo but just need to import reddeer.swt?
Is red deer a replacement or an addon for swt bot? The FAQ seem to indicate both?
If addon - cool, but why is it then missing features swt bot has?
Have any of this been contributed back to swtbot? I.e. we got committers on swtbot(Mikael)
so if its useful would that make more sense?
