             Summary: add check for wget executable into build/aggregate/build.xml#collect.zips
                 Key: JBIDE-11156
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-11156
             Project: Tools (JBoss Tools)
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Build/Releng
    Affects Versions: 3.3.0.Beta2
            Reporter: Nick Boldt
            Assignee: Nick Boldt
             Fix For: 3.3.0.Beta2


In /build/aggregate/build.xml, the <target name="collect.zips"/> uses <exec executable="wget"> instead of <get> to fetch zips and metadata from download.jboss.org.

Given this script was developed before Ant 1.8, I believe the reasons for this were:

a) --tries=3 allows multiple attempts to get the same file
b) return property (wget.return) could be checked for success (0 = good, non-zero = fail), and simply continue (rather than failing) if the file couldn't be loaded

With Ant 1.8.0:

a) retries="3" allows multiple attempts to get the same file (on by default)
b) ignoreerrors="true" should permit a failed download to not fail the script
