[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-12608?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12719967#comment-12719967 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-12608:
------------------------------------

would it make sense to have a single "bootstrap" job that document and script everything we need to get JBT/JBDS building:

* redeploy parent pom to Nexus
* redeploy settings.xml file(s) to Nexus and copy to somewhere under /home/hudson/static_build_env/jbds
* redeploy target platform files to Nexus (or call downstream job, if we prefer)
* cache/update other useful scripts in /home/hudson/static_build_env/jbds, such as the ~/trunk/build/ folder?
* ensure /home/hudson/static_build_env/jbds/builds/staging/_composite_ is up to date (pulled from tools at filemgmt.jboss.org:/downloads_htdocs/tools)
* prefetch SOA/EAP runtimes into /home/hudson/static_build_env/jbds/download-cache
* ... ?

> Currently, we deal with optimization for Jenkins by multiple local.* properties and local.* profiles.
> Those properties and profiles are just used in order to replace repository URL.
> Maven has the concept of mirroring for that, and without adding a profile, we can tell Maven to consume another URL for a given repo. Moreover, Tycho will support mirrors for repo in .target files starting from 0.16.0.
> WE should move to the mirror approach since it keeps things clear and separate issues: pom describe build, mirror allow to override repo without any change.
> Seems like Maven supports having 2 settings.xml files as input (one with -gs and one with -s), so no big difficulty here.
