---------------------------------------------
Since we in the past have found/had several issues including the TP as composite in past
I'm curious to grok what this suggestion actually does and if those past issues are
not relevant anymore.
a) is this just about the *final* form on the GA site to users ? i.e. Integration stack
and other builds would not want the TP included in the composite when depending on this.
b) in past we had TP in associated site to avoid it got listed either in categorized or
uncategorized content - is that not an issue anymore ?
c) "we now always co-release JBT with its TP in the same URL" i'm not
following as good reason to do this since my assumption is we would be interested in being
able to release *smaller* parts rather than bigger parts together ?
sorry if seem like dumb questions but I just remember all the issues that occurred when TP
was part of the sites in the past, so just educate me on what changed.
remove need for a targetplatforms/jbosstoolstarget/neon site

Key: JBIDE-21233
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-21233
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Bug
Components: build, target-platform
Affects Versions: 4.4.0.Alpha1
Reporter: Nick Boldt
Assignee: Nick Boldt
Fix For: 4.4.0.Alpha1
For the last few years, we've had an associate site ref inside the JBT agg site,
pointing at "the latest maximum TP", eg.,
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/targetplatforms/jbosstoolstarget/mars/
But since we now always co-release JBT with its TP in the same URL, this is only useful
for someone who wants to do an OFFLINE install using the zip, which will then go ONLINE to
resolve TP dependencies. It's at best a broken use case, and at worst it's
unnecessary cruft to maintain.
Therefore I propose we stop linking to this site.
We can build the aggregates using a specific TP (the one in the parent pom, natch), and
simply NOT use an associate site in the JBT aggregate site build.
