[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBDS-2168) Review and improve mechanism to provide 3rd-party features

Mickael Istria commented on JBDS-2168:
--------------------------------------
What does "our own grain" mean ?
It means that we can ship different "set of features" from what is originally
shipped. For example, we do that for our Subclipse feature: it actually contains also most
of optional extension of Subclipse, that make sense in our product.
So the end-users see only 1 JBDS/Subclipse feature (that will install 5 Subclipse
features) where using directly Subclipse would show 5 different Subclipse feature.
Review and improve mechanism to provide 3rd-party features
----------------------------------------------------------
Key: JBDS-2168
URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-2168
Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio)
Issue Type: Task
Security Level: Public(Everyone can see)
Components: 3rdPartyDependencies, Build
Reporter: Mickael Istria
Assignee: Max Rydahl Andersen
Fix For: 6.x
Currently, we wrap (in a 1-1 mapping) most 3rd-party features as "requirements"
into features of ours. It allows to show our license and lable when installing.
We should think about other approaches, and choose the best one:
* Get rid of our features and directly include 3rd-party features in site. Keep our
features only when we want an assembly of several 3rd-party features (we do it for
springide)
* Prefer inclusion over requirement so that we can restrict the version we allow for
3rd-party features. If someone wants a different one, he'll have to uninstall the JBDS
"supported" feature first.
