[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-13328) as.core plugin should understand the idea of ESB 4.x instead of needing to explicitly list versions like 4.8, 4, 9, 4.10, 4.11, 4.12

Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-13328:
-------------------------------------

It seems there's an interim and private non-api extension point which has been added recently which allows a module to declare its support for servers, rather than the other way around. This is progress, but it does not stop the 4.10,4.11,4.12 debacle.

> The following JIRAs showcase how ass-backwards the implementation of ESB detection/support in as.core's plugin.xml is:
> JBIDE-13209
> JBDS-2365
> JBDS-2394
> JBDS-1889
> JBDS-2431
> Would it be possible to have the various servers simply support 4.x instead of needing to keep updating as.core's plugin.xml every time a new version of ESB 4.x comes out? (4.11 is currently not supported properly, and 4.12 is forthcoming. Can we make this better in JBDS 7, then maybe backport that magic to JBDS 5 and 6?
