[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://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-1351?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12558229#action_12558229 ] 

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

> create requirement or at least describe how to prepare all p2 repos required during build

Try this:

http://anonsvn.jboss.org/repos/jbosstools/trunk/build/target-platform/build.xml

That will generate a p2.mirror script from the .target file, fetch all the stuff via the mirror script into a local p2 repo, then perform an install (p2.director) into a particular version of Eclipse + its accompanying deltapack.

If you want to modify the script to do 5 installs into 5 different Eclipse SDKs (instead of the platform binary + delta pack), it should be fairly trivial to add a new target to the script to do so for multiple platforms instead of just linux 32/64, as currently coded.

Bear in mind that this target platform includes deps for JBoss Tools, and does not include additional reqs for things that are only in JBDS. We could have a second .target file for that, if necessary.

> 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.
