Nick Boldt commented on JBTIS-15:
---------------------------------

Initially, I would think tests would be against RELEASES, since JBTIS is a whole cycle behind us. Later, they might want to sync on milestones... I guess it depends on what's in their target platform, really. 

This is just for Juno (JBTIS 4.0) for now; later we can worry about JBTIS for Kepler (4.1?). 

And yes, [~maxandersen] it would be new tests to add to existing suite of test jobs. Should be able to create the new jobs simply using p2.director scripts (headless, never fail due to X server issues) or install-grinder (UI-based tests that tend to choke on slaves w/ wonky X server config). 

Something like this, I expect: 

https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/job/jbosstools-3.3_stable_branch.director-install-tests.egit.matrix/
https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/job/jbosstools-3.3_stable_branch.director-install-tests.m2e.matrix/

[~mickael_istria] +1 to it being separate from JBT, since it's unrelated to JBT install.

> Job must perform the following install steps:
> a) unpack eclipse
> b) install JBT (specific version)
> c) install JBTIS (specific version)
> That will ensure that:
> * JBTIS can be installed against a specific older version of JBT AND
> * JBTIS can also magically update the version of JBT installed to the latest at the same time.
> Need a matrix job to handle a few (12) permutations:
> {code}
> Eclipse {4.2.0,4.2.1,4.2.2} x JBT {4.0.0,4.0.1} x JBTIS {4.0.0}
> Eclipse {4.2.0,4.2.1,4.2.2} x JBDS {6.0.0,6.0.1} x JBTIS {4.0.0}
> {code}
