Why do we deploy TP zips to Nexus snapshots repo? ------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-21120 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-21120 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: build, updatesite Affects Versions: 4.3.0.Final, 4.4.0.Alpha1 Reporter: Nick Boldt Assignee: Nick Boldt Fix For: 4.3.1.Beta1, 4.4.0.Alpha1 Currently, we deploy our TP update sites to the JBoss Nexus snapshots repo. {code} Uploading: https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/org/jbo...

Uploading: https://repository.jboss.org/nexus/content/repositories/snapshots/org/jbo... ... {code} But other than Locus and the Browsersim Standalone zip, we don't ever use these artifacts, so they just: * eat disk space in Nexus * consume time/resources in Jenkins So, why don't we set a custome deployment strategy (eg., akin to *maven.deploy.skip=true*) in the jbosstools-targetplatform & jbosstools-discovery root pom to prevent this waste of time/space? Then we can just deploy the .target files, not the zips. This would certainly speed up builds, which currently take 30-60 mins per TP build.
