Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-8012:
-----------------------------------
Can you depend on their plugins instead of their features?
Or... can we rebuild their bits from source ourselves, and re-release it using
osgi-friendly feature names (instead of their insanity), with plugins that export packages
correctly?
Are sources available? If not, we could simply rebuild their features like I do for
Drools, and publish that in a way that we can then depend on. We'd still need to
rebuild when they rename their features, but we might be able to automate that using a
script that culls information from their site.xml.
evaluate options that remove dependency to GWT SDK bundle

Key: JBIDE-8012
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-8012
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Feature Request
Components: GWT
Affects Versions: 3.2.0.CR1
Reporter: Andre Dietisheim
Assignee: Nick Boldt
Fix For: 3.2.x
nick, I thought about possibilities to remove the dependency to the gwt sdk bundle since
our integration plugin gets uninstallable as soon as google releases a new version. We
currently have no choice but to track their updates and release a new version.
The basic problem is that google had the great idea to include the plugin version into
the plugin name and that they remove old version from their update site.
I currently don't see any viable solution (optional dependencies dont help for new
versions; I cannot depend on packages instead of the bundle since their bundle does not
export any package).
Do you see any option that would allow us to trigger the installation of the gwt-sdk
bundle when someone installs our integration plugin?
