---------------------------------------------
this whole fix is to support p2 and thus also composite sites.
Consider using main JBT site for server discovery
-------------------------------------------------
Key: JBIDE-19757
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-19757
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Enhancement
Components: build, server
Reporter: Mickael Istria
Fix For: 4.3.0.Beta1
With
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=434185 , WTP Server Discovery
mechanism was granted a new strategy which allows to rely on regular p2 metadata instead
of a site.xml.
Support for this was already merged in server (
https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-server/commit/2d3cc63a9b67753ad9...
)
In order to save an artifact to manage (the webtools p2 repository), we could use this
mechanism and consider contributing directly the main JBT URL to webtools discovery.
However, server discovery also keeps older strategies and since we produce invalid
site.xml files, this is currently failing
{code}
!ENTRY org.eclipse.equinox.p2.updatesite 2 0 2015-05-04 09:40:58.088
!MESSAGE Error parsing feature stream. The unique identifier or the version is null or
empty for the State: "Category": unique identifier="minimal-json"
version="null".
{code}
because we are lines specifying bundle but no version in the site.xml.
[~nickboldt] What are those site.xml useful for? Could we get rid of them?
