[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-2456) JBDS should be buildable from source zip

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-2456?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-2456: ---------------------------------- {quote} I found jbdevstudio-product-universal-7.0.0*.jar. So do I just run that as usual, with java -jar ...?{quote} Yes. There should be a README.md in the root of the zip, too. If you feel something is missing, feel free to attach a patch or suggest contributions, and I'll add missing instructions. Note too that there is more information in the product/pom.xml file. Should that be moved/copied into the product/README.md file? {quote}{code} Build product features, site, and installers like this: mvn clean install To replicate a Jenkins CI build, run like this (unified.target and hudson profile require VPN access): mvn clean install -P hudson,eap,pack200 -Dtpc.targetKind=unified -DTARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION=4.30.5.Alpha4-SNAPSHOT -DTARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION_MAXIMUM=4.30.5.Alpha4-SNAPSHOT -DBUILD_NUMBER=1234 -DJOB_NAME=devstudio.product_trunk -Dupdate.site.description="Development Milestone" Installer(s) will be produced in installer/target/ and can be installed using 'java -jar jbdevstudio-*.jar' Sources zip can be found in results/target/; you can build from the source zip by unpacking it, then using the instructions above. Unpacked update site can be found in site/target/repository/. You can now use the installer jar as an update site archive. Launch Eclipse or JBDS, then select: Help > Install New Software... > Add... > Archive... > Browse for the JBDS installer jar > OK > Work with: jar:file:/path/to/jbdevstudio-product-*.jar!/ > Install the JBDS feature(s) > Restart when prompted. To update from one version of JBDS to another: * Help > Install from the generated site in site/target/repository/ * Uncheck the box for 'Group items by category' * Select the "JBoss Developer Studio (Branded Product)" feature Or, to install the "Bring Your Own Eclipse" category or "Core Features" feature into Eclipse (not as an update to an existing JBDS install): * Help > Install from the generated site in site/target/repository/ * Select the "JBoss Developer Studio (Core Features)" feature {code}{quote} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
