[jbosstools-dev] Advice for building jbosstools-* projects using the new photon-based target platform

[Nick Boldt]

Until all the projects are updated to build cleanly with the new
Photon-based dependencies (like Red Deer 2.1 instead of 2.0 and Eclipse 4.8
instead of 4.7.3a), and have built in Jenkins, you'll have to build the
whole set of projects locally in order to build a downstream one like
jbosstools-central.

As you can see from the root pom [1], Central depends on several upstream
projects:

base, server, javaee, portlet (?), jst, hibernate, vpe.

Once you've built the upstream projects locally (using `mvn clean install
-DskipTests if you're in a hurry), you can then pass those urls to the
downstream builds with
-Djbosstools-server-site=file:///path/to/jbosstools-server/site/target/repository/

You could also build using the older parent pom, version
4.7.3.Final-SNAPSHOT, but then pass in these variables to ensure you're
using the correct TP and will be correctly nagged about version bumps where
needed:

-DTARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION_MIN=4.71.1.Final
-DTARGET_PLATFORM_VERSION_MAX=4.73.1.Final
-DTARGET_PLATFORM_CENTRAL_MAX=4.73.0.Final-SNAPSHOT
-DBUILD_ALIAS=AM1

Hope that helps!

Meanwhile, base, forge, fuse extras, and the openshift restclient are
*green*. Let's get the rest fixed ASAP!
