Create JBDS Distribution using productBuild.xml from PDE, P2 director or tycho eclipse-application packaging ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBDS-1351 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-1351 Project: Developer Studio (JBoss Developer Studio) Issue Type: Task Components: installer Affects Versions: 4.0.0.Beta2 Reporter: Denis Golovin Assignee: Denis Golovin Fix For: 4.0.0.CR1 Attachments: jbds-update-site.png, linux-gtk-x86-about.png, linux-gtk-x86-installation-details.png, linux-gtk-x86-installation-root.png, mac-carbon-x86-about.png, mac-cocoa-x86-installation-root.png That might be implemented using tycho application packaging or PDE build features. It would let us: - have any number of JBDS distribution we want (for WEB, SOA and etc development); - simplified installer build, because build script would just create installer from JBDS distribution and EAP; - no meta info generation during installation required; - have only one way to launch JBDS using jbds.exe/jbds/jbds.app platform dependent launcher. - change root feature from Eclipse Platform to JBDS and make JBDS real eclipse based product; - trigger update for jbds by updating JBDS feature version; - control list of available update sites in preferences.
