[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-11374) BUILD USABILITY BUG: build should assume target platform is in build/target-platform/REPO

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11374?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Nick Boldt edited comment on JBIDE-11374 at 3/22/12 10:43 AM: -------------------------------------------------------------- Rob: I applaud the fact that a) you read the docs, b) you determined the default value, and c) feel that the default for end users should not be the one used by Jenkins, and d) reported a JIRA. This means the system is up. Truly you are full of consummate v's, and a burninating force to be reckoned with! :D (It's moments like this I wish I could install a lightswitch for the sole purpose of raving. (http://www.hrwiki.org/wiki/The_Cheat%27s_Lightswitch) -- Since we're looking to change this and since you use the work "insists" (which could imply you don't like the suggested default path), where would YOU like the default to be? I can update both the parent pom AND the docs, if a new default would make more sense. Would /tmp be good? I don't know if I can do relative or ${HOME}-based paths and have Tycho resolve them w/o setting them via commandline. (Note too that in addition to the wiki and the parent pom, I will need to change all the jobs that use the local.site profile so that they now set an override value of -Dsite.local=file:///home/hudson/static_build_env/jbds/target-platform_3.3.indigo.SR2/e372M-wtp332M.target/ to correctly resolve the outside-of-Jenkins-workspace local site. This will need to be done for all three development streams - 3.2x, 3.3x, and trunk. was (Author: nickboldt): Rob: I applaud the fact that a) you read the docs, b) you determined the default value, and c) feel that the default for end users should not be the one used by Jenkins, and d) reported a JIRA.
