             Summary: Improve ability to configure dependent hudson jobs and provide accessable documentation
                 Key: JBIDE-11495
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11495
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Sub-task
            Reporter: Barry LaFond


SOA decoupling has elevated the need to have more configurable control over upstream and downstream dependencies.

Notes from Nick:

* a number of jobs are now set to build only when triggered by upstream, but SOA stuff is not as well handled
* ideally you'd want: a) check svn every N hours (usually 6) and b) upstream should use Parameterized Trigger to cause downstream to fire
* you can also ensure that you're building against a stable aggregate using an override like the one I've set up for SOA Tooling aggregate...
* in your maven invocation, under Properties, you can do this: # use latest upstream nightly Core update site instead of "wild components" in the composite staging site  jbosstools-nightly-staging-composite=http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/core/trunk/
* that way you pull from the aggregate (updates weekly) instead of the composite (updates every time a component respins)
* means if you depended on something like tests/common/jst/vpe/jsf/seam/maven/central/usage stack, you wouldn't need to worry about getting incompatible pieces
