[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-20911?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Hardy Ferentschik commented on JBIDE-20911: ------------------------------------------- {quote} not sure what you mean by virtual environment here ? the oc is supposed to be install on users local host. {quote} I thought about the virtualized environment as provided by the Developer Platform. I guess right now you indeed need the oc binary locally, because you cannot afaiu drive the communication with the Openshift 3 instance purely via its REST API (due to the problems with finding/implementing a Java client providing the required capabilities). If this problem could be solved, it should be possible to do all "local" communication via REST avoiding the need for the _oc_ cli altogether. If the user in such a case still wants to use the _oc_ command line and has the virtualized environment of the Developer Platform available, it should be possible to eg ssh to a virtual machine in this environment which provides the _oc_ cli. Anyways, just a thought. I hope it is clearer now what I meant. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.11#64026)
