Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-23285:
------------------------------------
Suggestion to remove old unsupported runtimes was to make the tests run faster and eat
less disk space.
integration tests should share runtime downloads so that each test
doesn't have to re-download the same runtime zips, and no longer use EOL'd
runtimes

Key: JBIDE-23285
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-23285
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Enhancement
Components: integration-tests
Affects Versions: 4.4.2.AM1
Reporter: Nick Boldt
Assignee: Martin Malina
While running the integration tests today to investigate JBDS-4077, I discovered that:
* org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.ui.bot.test requires 11 runtimes, some of which are well past
their EOL date [1]:
{code}jboss-3.2.8.SP1 jboss-4.2.3.GA jboss-5.1.0.GA jboss-as-7.0.2.Final
wildfly-10.0.0.CR2 wildfly-9.0.1.Final
jboss-4.0.5.GA jboss-5.0.1.GA jboss-6.1.0.Final jboss-as-7.1.1.Final
wildfly-8.2.0.Final{code}
* org.jboss.tools.deltaspike.ui.bot.test requires 1 runtime, wildfly-10.0.0.Final

So, three problems here:
a) different tests use different versions of the same runtime (WFLY 10.0.0.CR2 vs.
Final)
b) different tests re-download their runtimes every time you do a clean, instead of
fetching runtimes from a cache. So the same 160M of WFLY 10 gets downloaded twice.
c) we still test on runtimes that have been EOL'd years ago, such as AS 4.0 and
earlier.
