[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-2361) Consider removing com.jboss.jbds.* features from Extras site; keep only 3rd party content in Central site

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-2361?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Nick Boldt edited comment on JBDS-2361 at 11/10/12 12:03 PM: ------------------------------------------------------------- To put 3rd party stuff on Extras site, we need feature wrappers so that the features can be clearly marked with "Selected" or "Certified" and state that these are "Features selected by Red Hat for use with JBoss Developer Studio." This comes from old requirements JBDS-1836 (JBDS 4) and JBDS-1834 (JBDS 5). If... * we are no longer required to label these groups of features in the old way, and * can instead ONLY provide them via Central as 3rd party add-ons (regardless of their being "selected" or "certified"), * which by definition of what Central is are still "selected by Red Hat for use with JBoss Developer Studio", ...then * we need no longer wrap them with com.jboss.jbds.[featuregroupname].feature, * we can remove those features and clean up SVN, * we can instead replace the connectors in the JBDS Central Discovery plugin's plugin.xml with a list of 3rd party IUs, and * we can simply mirror the content that's here [1] to a devstudio.jboss.com mirror [2] and link it from the JBDS Central site [3].
