[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBDS-221) eclipse update manager for JBDS

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBDS-221?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12458403#action_12458403 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-221:
---------------------------------

I've opened https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=269536 to discuss the option of warning people about the installation of unsigned jars (much the same way people are warned to accept a CA for signed jars).

As to the pwnage status, that's no longer a problem. 'Scuse my flippancy. :)

Signed jars mean different things to different providers (@ Eclipse, "contents are as described" vs. @ Red Hat, "contents are as described and were built following a strictly regimented process to ensure quality"), so for the moment, JBDS won't be doing signed jars, which means we can move forward with provisioning an https-auth'd update site for 2.0.1. For now, https will be a sufficient mechanism for ensuring what you see is what you get.

(We do build with a regimented, reproduceable process, but it's not yet aligned with one that will allow for signing... for now, anyway. More to come on that front in future.)
