Nick Boldt created JBIDE-23510: ---------------------------------- Summary: [devdoc] document sources in target platform zip & use of PDE Source Lookup feature Key: JBIDE-23510 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-23510 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: build, target-platform Affects Versions: 4.4.2.AM3 Reporter: Nick Boldt Assignee: Nick Boldt Fix For: 4.4.2.Final So that dev and qe can use Fred's PDE source lookup tool [1] to grab source bundles on demand (instead of having to build a target platform locally w/ all the sources [2]), we need to: [1] https://github.com/fbricon/pde.source.lookup/ [2] https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-devdoc/blob/master/building/targ... * build a targetplatform with all the sources * split that repo into two pieces: all the .source files, and everything else * regen the metadata (featureandbundlepublisher) in each new repo so that all the features/plugins are uncategorized OR... * build a targetplatform without the sources * transform the .target file so that each IU ends with .source * build the target platform repo from the new .target file * verify that sources repo includes the sources of nested features, and those features' plugins' sources too ---- Then once we have the targetplatform.source repo, publish that and verify it works with the PDE Source Lookup plugin: 1. install the PDE source lookup plugin 2. Window > Prefs > Update > Avail Software Sites > Add the new tp.source site 3. for something you want sources, use the plugin and see if it can resolve soources ---- Then, if that works, we can consider adding the new tp.source site into the JBT/devstudio composite sites, along with jbt + tp + central + central tp (or ds + ds tp + central + central tp) as a 5th child site. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v7.2.3#72005)
