build target platform sources site (for use with PDE Source Lookup)
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JBIDE-23481
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-23481
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Bug
Components: build, target-platform
Affects Versions: 4.4.2.AM3
Reporter: Nick Boldt
Assignee: Nick Boldt
So that dev and qe can use Fred's PDE source lookup tool [1] to grab source bundles
on demand (instead of having to build a target platform locally w/ all the sources), we
need to:
[1]
https://github.com/fbricon/pde.source.lookup/
* build a targetplatform with all the sources
* split that repo into two pieces: all the .source files, and everything else
* regen the metadata (featureandbundlepublisher) in each new repo
OR...
* build a targetplatform without the sources
* transform the .target file so that each IU ends with .source
* verify that this second .target, when resolved, includes the sources of nested
features, and those features' plugins' sources too
----
Then once we have the targetplatform.source repo, publish that and verify it works with
the PDE Source Lookup plugin:
1. install the PDE source lookup plugin
2. Window > Prefs > Update > Avail Software Sites > Add the new tp.source
site
3. for something you want sources, use the plugin and see if it can resolve soources
----
Then, if that works, we can consider adding the new tp.source site into the JBT/devstudio
composite sites, along with jbt + tp + central + central tp (or ds + ds tp + central +
central tp) as a 5th child site.
