[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBIDE-3161) Equinox Transforms plugin for JBDS

[Snjezana Peco (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBIDE-3161?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12443187#action_12443187 ] 

Snjezana Peco commented on JBIDE-3161:
--------------------------------------

I have tested jbdevstudio 2.0.0.GA-N20081217006 and found the following issues

1) as to the transforms feature, there are three issues:
- config.ini isn't changed 
- eclipse.ini isn't valid (the -framework option is required)
- org.jboss.tools.equinox.transforms.xslt and org.eclipse.osgi (the framework plugin) aren't in the same directory. They have to be in the same dir - eclipse/plugins

2) org.jboss.tools.runtime isn't included in the build
The another problem was that the application_platforms.properties file was changed.
I have fixed the issue with application_platforms.properties. Now, this plugin can be either in studio/plugins or in eclipse/plugins.
It is also necessary to remove the startup extension point from o.j.t.j.firstrun as well as initialization code from the seam plugin.

In order to test the above mentioned build, you need to do the following changes:
- move the org.jboss.tools.equinox.transforms.xslt plugin from the studio/plugins dir to the eclipse/plugins dir
- replace eclipse.ini with the attached eclipse.ini file
- replace config.ini (configuration/config.ini) with the attached config.ini directory
- unpack the attached org.eclipse.jboss.runtime plugin to studio/plugins (or to eclipse/plugins)
- comment the startup ext. point in the o.j.t.j.firstrun plugin

> Develop a plugin which will be able to transform / invalidate other plugins in an installation.  First iteration could be just a core with a hard-coded list of plugins / extension points which we want invalidated.
> The goal here is to have all appropriate plugins in our installation, but disable the ones we do not want. Currently, JBDS removes the webtools jboss server-tools jar entirely, which makes the update site fail. What we need here is to have the webtools jboss server-tools jar IN hte installation, and loaded as a plugin, but have all of its extension points invalidated so it is effectively an empty non-contributing plugin. 
> org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.jboss_1.5.205.v200805140145  is the plugin we need invalidated.  We need it's plugin.xml to be essentially empty with just base <plugin></plugin> tags.
