FYI -------- Original Message -------- Subject: PLEASE READ :: New/Updated Target Platforms & More Upstream Dependency Mirrors for JBT / JBDS Date: Sat, 05 Mar 2011 11:17:59 -0500 From: Nick Boldt <nboldt(a)redhat.com&gt; To: external-exadel-list(a)redhat.com <external-exadel-list(a)redhat.com&gt; == 3.2.x / 4.x == I've updated the TP for use with JBT 3.2.x / JBDS 4.x to use the latest Helios SR2 bits, *including Eclipse 3.6.2 and WTP 3.2.3.* This is newer than what we used for JBT 3.2.0 / JBDS 4.0.0, and while it SHOULD be drop-in compatible, it has unfortunately surfaced at least one problem [0]: [0] https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-8523 The TP has been rebuilt and is smaller than before (I cleaned out the cruft leftover from 3.6.1R and 3.6.2M being combined into a single repo). I've also added a flag to the TP build jobs so that you can easily do a complete clean before building, rather than building on top of an existing one. Takes longer but guarantees there's only ONE version of any given feature/plugin. If you need access to the TP, it's here [1]: [1] http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/target-platform/ == 3.3 / 5.0 in trunk == The current TP for use with trunk [2] is also Helios SR2 (Eclipse 3.6.2, WTP 3.2.3, etc.), but will change to 3.7M5 when we're all ready to switch over. *This is a good time to start testing your component with the new Eclipse 3.7 and see how badly broken it is.* [2] http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/target-platform_trunk == 3.3 / 5.0 in 3.3.indigo branch == The work-in-progress TP for use with the 3.3.indigo branch [3] currently contains Eclipse 3.7M5 and WTP 3.3M5: [3] http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/target-platform_3.3.indigo/ Once that's ready, I'll start spinning jobs in Hudson which build against this TP instead of the Helios-based one, to see how much breakage we have & how much work will be required to migrate. == More Mirroring! == I'm also working to have ALL the eclipse.org bits we use mirrored on download.jboss.org so there won't be any surprises along the way for the 3.3 / 5.0 release as we move up from milestone to milestone. You can track the work to create these mirrors, and get the 3.3.indigo branch TP working, here [4]: [4] https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-8489 Mirrors will be added to the list here [5], should you want to install things one-by-one or see what versions are available: [5] http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/requirements/ I am also working to combine these mirrors together into a single composite update site [6] using the latest approved version (eg., SWTBot 2.0.3, Eclipse 3.7M5) so it's easy to install stuff for testing.
