Improve ability to configure dependent hudson jobs and provide accessable documentation --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBTIS-113 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTIS-113 Project: JBoss Tools Integration Stack Issue Type: Enhancement Reporter: Barry LaFond Assignee: Paul Leacu SOA decoupling has elevated the need to have more configurable control over upstream and downstream dependencies. Notes from Nick: * a number of jobs are now set to build only when triggered by upstream, but SOA stuff is not as well handled * ideally you'd want: a) check svn every N hours (usually 6) and b) upstream should use Parameterized Trigger to cause downstream to fire * you can also ensure that you're building against a stable aggregate using an override like the one I've set up for SOA Tooling aggregate... * in your maven invocation, under Properties, you can do this: # use latest upstream nightly Core update site instead of "wild components" in the composite staging site jbosstools-nightly-staging-composite=http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools... * that way you pull from the aggregate (updates weekly) instead of the composite (updates every time a component respins) * means if you depended on something like tests/common/jst/vpe/jsf/seam/maven/central/usage stack, you wouldn't need to worry about getting incompatible pieces
