Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-11157:
----------------------------------------

> Please don't use updatesites as TP

Basically, a TP is just a difficult to maintain composite update-site. Having the list of sites in a pom.xml and the list of features we want in a site.xml (or category.xml) would provide us the same control as we have for TP, and would be much more Maven-friendly and easy to maintain.

About renaming to "parent" that changes nothing except that JBoss Tools now looks more "normal" when trying to find the parent in the M2 repo. IT is now done and nothing has changed except the name.

> release what repo to all components ?

We would not release anything on component, we will add a referece to JBoss Nexus repo in components to ensure they will be able to locate their parent from here. The release of parent or TP or whatever is done on staging repository, and we'll have to go through the process of promoting it to "release" to get components consume releases.

> we don't want to pollute nexus release with our "experiements".

I don't think this is an experiment any more ;)

> We tried this a year ago and it wasn't very successful, but it's worth considering it again.
> We can use `mvn deploy` to push the parent pom (and perhaps the target platform's pom) to nexus for reuse by downstream components.
