[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBTIS-158) create composite site zip containing JBDS IS + dependencies for easier offline install

[Rob Cernich (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTIS-158?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12799667#comment-12799667 ] 

Rob Cernich commented on JBTIS-158:
-----------------------------------

Yep.  That is exactly what I was thinking: have a simple little project that zips up the two sites (jbds-is and jbds-is-tp), along with some composite*.xml files to facilitate using it as a p2 site.  That zip can be used for pretty much everything and, if the paths are named correctly, portions can be expanded into their target folders on the server (e.g. unzip site.zip integration-stack/aggregate/<version>/*).

As for the directory layout, I don't really have an opinion, other than the zip should mirror the hierarchies under "integration-stack" whatever those might be.

> Suggested by [~rcernich]:
> {quote}For the JBDS-IS site, I was recommending creating a project that would zip the JBDS-IS and JBDS-IS TP sites into a composite site.  The zip contents would look something like:
> {code}./compositeContent.xml
> ./compositeArtifacts.xml
> ./7.1.0/7.1.0.Beta1-jbds-is/
> ./7.1.0/7.1.0.Beta1-jbds-is-target-platform/{code}
> {quote}
> This will work if we assume users have already installed JBDS. If we cannot make that assumption, then the composite zip must also include the JBDS update site + JBDS TP site.
> If we did a similar thing for JBT IS, it would need to contain these sites:
> {code}
> JBT webtools aggregate site (not the full JBT aggregate site)
> JBT TP
> JBT IS 
> JBT IS TP
> {code}
> Or, if we assume that users will already have JBT (or some part of it) installed, then we need only:
> {code}
> JBT IS 
> JBT IS TP
> {code}
