[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-17153) Provide a way to configure IDE properties remotely, supporting multiple product/project versions

Fred Bricon created JBIDE-17153: ----------------------------------- Summary: Provide a way to configure IDE properties remotely, supporting multiple product/project versions Key: JBIDE-17153 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17153 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Feature Request Components: central, discovery Affects Versions: 4.2.0.Beta1 Reporter: Fred Bricon Assignee: Fred Bricon Fix For: 4.2.0.Beta2 Currently, discovery urls are defined at build time and require modifying eclipse.ini or jbdevstudio.ini for each release. This is often error prone / annoying. Max came up with the following idea : make all these URLs (and others if applicable) defined in one place, that we can update remotely. So a remote properties file would contain the urls per project/product and per version. If we have foo|devstudio|8.0.0.Beta2=bar then : * devstudio 8.0.0.Beta2-123456-65432 will get bar. * If no matching key/version is defined, then we'd look for foo|devstudio|8.0.0 * then foo|devstudio|8.0 * then foo|devstudio|8 * then foo|devstudio * then foo That solution allows us to fine tune discovery urls per version if needed and doesn't require users/QE to mess with *.ini to test each milestone. http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/configuration/ide-config.properties would be the bundle resource master of all properties. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
