create an all-in-one build for JBT projects, using submodules ------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBIDE-16220 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16220 Project: Tools (JBoss Tools) Issue Type: Bug Components: build Affects Versions: 4.2.0.Alpha1 Reporter: Nick Boldt Assignee: Nick Boldt Fix For: 4.2.x Attachments: buildlog_maven311.txt Git 1.8.2 includes an option to have submodules track a branch tip, rather than specific commit IDs. {code:title=https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.2.txt#L186-L188} "git submodule" started learning a new mode to integrate with the tip of the remote branch (as opposed to integrating with the commit recorded in the superproject's gitlink). {code} Therefore, while the solution [~dgolovin] has for his https://github.com/dgolovin/jbosstools-submodules project is a decent option, it requires updating to stay current with branch tips. It's therefore only really as useful as it stays current. If we can get Git 1.8.2 or newer installed on the Jenkins slaves, we could do a submodule build against whatever branch we wanted - master, 4.2.0.Alpha1x, etc.
