[JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-10312) Define a minimal target platform as opposed to the recommend one we have now for builds

Define a minimal target platform as opposed to the recommend one we have now for builds
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JBIDE-10312
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10312
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Build/Releng
Reporter: Max Rydahl Andersen
Assignee: Nick Boldt
Priority: Critical
Seeing JBIDE-10311 made me realize that we actually could catch these by having a *minimal* target platform to either build or test against.
The problem here is that a plugin got a plugin dependency based on the target platform - but the target platform have the latest 3.7.1 version meaning those users running 3.7.0 would have problems installing it.
If we had a minimal target platform (.target) we could actually install/verify these issues against it.
Not necessarily every night - but like once a week run the build or install the updatesite against the minimal target platform would
reveal these dependency issues.
WDYT?

[JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBIDE-4727) Support distribution defining "New Project" dependencies
by Pete Muir (JIRA)
Support distribution defining "New Project" dependencies
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: JBIDE-4727
URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-4727
Project: JBoss Tools
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: Seam
Reporter: Pete Muir
Summary:
Move the responsibility for defining a "New Seam Project"'s dependencies (libraries) from JBoss Tools to the Seam distribution. Use the Maven 2 POM format to define the dependencies. Use Maven POM profiles to support different use cases for Seam projects.
Reason:
Currently JBoss Tools defines the project dependencies which causes issues very time Seam changes either the dependency set of a new seam project, or the layout of libraries in the distribution. Use Maven 2 POM format as it is already a well defined and understood model. Use of Maven POM profiles can further increase the flexibility and support various use cases for Seam (for example, Seam with jBPM or Seam with ICEFaces).
Details:
JBoss Tools should be able to read these files from the seam-gen/ directory: war.pom.xml, ear.pom.xml, ejb-jar.ear.pom.xml, war.ear.pom.xml. The war.pom.xml defines the dependencies for a WAR project; the *ear.pom.xml define dependencies for the composite modules of an EAR project. The standard Maven scopes are used: compile to indicate compile/runtime dependencies of the project, test to indicate extra dependencies required in the test project.
Maven profiles are used to define additional dependency sets for new seam projects, allowing the user to optionally add extra dependencies to his project. To make this extensible, and not require JBossTools to use a well-known list of profile ids, an xml namespace will be used to add additional metadata to the profile. This allows JBossTools to identify the possible profiles:
<profile>
<id>drools5</id>
<jbt:profile>
<jbt:description>Drools 5 support (Tech Preview)</jbt:description>
</jbt:profile>
<!--Standard Maven elements -->
</profile>
<profile>
<id>ICEFaces</id>
<jbt:profile>
<jbt:description>ICEFaces</jbt:description>
</jbt:profile>
<!--Standard Maven elements -->
</profile>
JBossTools can recognize the jbt:profile element, and use the jbt:description element to as a descriptive element to present to the user:
[x] ICEFaces
[x] Drools 5 support (Tech Preview)
displayed in the New Seam Project Wizard.
We should allow for additional information to be placed in the POM and in the future beyond dependency information. For example, additional configuration files to include in the generated project, however this is not a critical feature.
We should also consider allowing JBoss Tools to retrieve the POMs from a Maven repository. This would require a user to simply specify the version of Seam they require, and have JBoss Tools download the seam-gen artifact containing all templates and resources.
