[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] Commented: (JBDS-1351) Create JBDS Distribution using productBuild.xml from PDE, P2 director or tycho eclipse-application packaging

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-1351?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12571235#comment-12571235 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBDS-1351:
----------------------------------

_stable_branch jobs are currently disabled because they point at the Beta2 sources and therefore are obsolete (until we code freeze for CR1 and branch again). So... that job's output shouldn't be used until post-branch.

> That might be implemented using tycho application packaging or PDE build features.
> It would let us:
> - have any number of JBDS distribution we want (for WEB, SOA and etc development);
> - simplified installer build, because build script would just create installer from JBDS distribution and EAP;
> - no meta info generation during installation required;
> - have only one way to launch JBDS using jbds.exe/jbds/jbds.app platform dependent launcher.
> - change root feature from Eclipse Platform to JBDS and make JBDS real eclipse based product;
> - trigger update for jbds by updating JBDS feature version;
> - control list of available update sites in preferences.
