[forge-dev] [jdf-dev] JBoss Stacks: Requirements

[Rafael Benevides]

As I'm releasing the JDF plugin (Beta either) and starting the beta cycle
of BOMs I created  a branch (for the YAML file)  which JDF plugin uses

https://raw.github.com/jboss-jdf/jdf-stack/Beta1/stacks.yaml

Please, feel free to do any considerations.

> All,
>
> I chatted with Max at JBoss World about requirements for what I'm
> code-naming JBoss Stacks, which is a really an extension of the JBoss BOMs
> project.
>
> The JBoss Stacks project takes all the BOMs, all the archetypes, and all
> the runtimes, and identifies which work with which. This can then be used
> by tools (like JBDS, Forge, Maven plugins) to correctly configure users
> projects.
>
> The stacks project requires 3 different dictionaries:
>
> * available BOMs
> * available archetypes
> * available runtimes
>
> and the ability to see the intersection between these things (i.e. if I'm
> on runtime version 1.2.3.Final, what BOMs are possible, what BOM is
> recommended, what archetypes are available, what is recommended).
>
> The runtime should include a download URL, so that plugins such as James'
> AS plugin for forge can download it. It should also contain a some options.
> I'm not sure exactly what is needed here, but James can provide details and
> what makes most sense.
>
> The runtimes should include what type they are (e.g. JBoss AS, EAP) to
> allow categorisation, filtering, sorting
>
> The Yaml parser in use should be pluggable, to avoid introducing uncessary
> extra dependencies
>
> There should be a recommended runtime per major version and per minor
> version (so you can say "I want JBoss AS 7" and you get back AS 7.1.1.Final
> or you can say "I want JBoss AS 7.0" and you get back 7.0.2.Final).
>
> We're going to need to be careful about compat, eventually, so we need to
> get everything in there, and get it right. We'll have a long beta cycle ;-)
>
> There will be a client utility, written in Java. This should be a single
> source file, which projects can copy in. It must have no dependencies other
> than a Yaml parser.
>
> I think Rafael is going to take the lead on this. But we'll decide on
> Monday next week.
