Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-18239:
---------------------------------------------
it is TP for the updatesite created. It ensures we list the actual updatesite where things
was fetched from and the exact IU and versions.
For stuff already in jbosstools we don't need this since already part of build.
I'm not looking to replace or change the use of the TP - i'm suggesting the
creation of the update site(s) could be done so we do not need to list the exact versions
of JBoss Tools provided content.
Create new update site zip(s) (rather than target platform zip) for
JBT content needed for Central/EA site

Key: JBIDE-18239
URL:
https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18239
Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
Issue Type: Bug
Components: build, central, discovery, updatesite
Affects Versions: 4.2.0.CR1
Reporter: Nick Boldt
Labels: f2f2014
Fix For: 4.3.0.Alpha1
In order to simplify the process for getting JBT features into Central (for JBDS) and EA
(for both JBT/JBDS), it's been suggested (by [~maxandersen], who doesn't like
opening JIRAs :D) that instead of a target platform which needs to be updated every time
we spin or respin a build, we could instead just produce an update site containing the
handful of IUs (cordovasim, arquillian, etc.).
We could further extend this idea to include all the things that currently are in BOTH
JBT or JBDS and in Central, such as TestNG.
These would be produced as new zips using the JBT aggregate builder:

Need to decide what to call this... "Extras" "JBT-not-in-JBDS"
"Shared" ...?
