[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16393?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-16393: ---------------------------------------- Let it be clear, submodules are really a bad thing: people who get only the code can't build it correctly because submodules may not be resolved, they require much maintenance to update commits or they introduce uncertainty to find out what was actually used. All this increase complexity and introduces risk and confusion. So IMHO, it's just something we need to avoid as much as possible. See the current example: you used submodules, and just by that, you were trapped by some of their biases (cf list of issues reported by Max). We need to find something simpler and more universal. If you're ok to put the code directly inside the plugin and maintain it there, go for it. It's actually the easiest solution from my POV. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
