[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-10068) Move OpenShift Express client to github

[Max Rydahl Andersen (Commented) (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10068?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12640672#comment-12640672 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-10068:
---------------------------------------------

Just to explain the reasons for this:

The primary reason why we were moving openshift client code to github was to make it easy for openshift team and others who are *not* using eclipse nor osgi for their work to pick it up maintain and use it.

Plus we did not want to spend time setting up hudson ci tycho builds which would need to change anyway, plus this library would now need to be manually installed and having to explain this and keeping under control for right branches/trunks just wasn't worth doing.

And this scenario is *not* the same as teiid/modeshape - teiid/modeshape is a problem because of the hard coupling of the internal .jar to  a specific runtime. This is not the case of the openshift library - we can and will be able to build and use this jar independent of any runtime release. Of course if OpenShift server side breaks it breaks us too but that is independent on where the openshift jar lives.

Thus we (Andre, Rob and me) settled on keeping the .client openshift plugin on jboss tools side in svn and then just embed the openshift client jar inside it thus not requiring to change every devs setup and to keep the github client jar simple (non-eclipse/tycho).
