[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-3191?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.... ] Nick Boldt edited comment on JBDS-3191 at 10/20/14 8:44 AM: ------------------------------------------------------------ Please note that the first line item in the release guide for JBDS 8 milestones is (re: JBDS-3190): {quote} TODO: when releasing GA make sure to :%s/development/stable/g and :%s/8.0-staging/8.0/g in product/features/com.jboss.jbds.product.feature/p2.inf {quote} Having the stable site in there from day 1 (I assume you mean the day Beta1 is pushed to https://www.jboss.org/products/devstudio ) will mean that everyone using the Betas won't be able to see updates, and won't be able to automatically move up to CR or GA. Alternatively, if you add BOTH the release site and the milestone site, you still need to configure p2.inf to remove the development site when updating to GA from an earlier milestone. And worse, Max will complain that there are too many sites listed in the Available Software Sites view. :D I think it's better to define maven enforcer rules which run at build-time to cause the build to fail if parent pom version is Final and the above files still contain development milestone (not release/stable) URLs. But yes, factorizing the update site URL (https://devstudio.redhat.com/updates/8.0-development/ or https://devstudio.redhat.com/updates/8.0/ ) into a single variable is a good idea. was (Author: nickboldt): Please note that the first line item in the release guide for JBDS 8 milestones is (re: JBDS-3190): {quote} TODO: when releasing GA make sure to :%s/development/stable/g and :%s/8.0-staging/8.0/g in product/features/com.jboss.jbds.product.feature/p2.inf {quote} Having the stable site in there from day 1 (I assume you mean the day Beta1 is pushed to https://www.jboss.org/products/devstudio ) will mean that everyone using the Betas won't be able to see updates, and won't be able to automatically move up to CR or GA.
