[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-6982?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12554163#action_12554163 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-6982:
-----------------------------------

Tycho is still fail for producing this; have gone back to p2.mirror, which is slow, tends to timeout, but with a few attempts does successfully produce a p2 repo complete w/ metadata.

So, I've now got:

/home/hudson/static_build_env/jbds/target-platform/e36-wtp322.target, which is accessible in the parent/pom.xml using `-P helios-local-target`:

http://hudson.qa.jboss.com/hudson/view/DevStudio_Tycho/job/jbosstools-3.2.0.Beta2.continuous-local-target-platform/2/

And I'm also uploading these two repos:

http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/target-platform/e361-wtp322.target.zip
http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/target-platform/latest/ 

-----

So, now all that's left here is to:

(1) install this into Eclipse along w/ the deltapack, and 
(2) make that available on Hudson in /home/hudson/static_build_env/jbds/, then 
(3) use  -Dtycho.targetPlatform=/home/hudson/static_build_env/jbds/path/to/installed/eclipse when running jobs.

Note too that I would consider scripting this fully from end-to-end, but since it needs to only happen 3-4 times a year, and tends to fail during the p2.mirror step, it's probably better to just do it by hand for now. Instead, I need:

(4) wiki documentation on the process of getting from .target file to p2.director-installed platform
