[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-15606) build tool to regenerate component update sites from published JBT aggregate

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-15606?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12809206#comment-12809206 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-15606:
------------------------------------

I mean we copy the bits included in http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/kepler/ to child sites like http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/kepler/core/freemarker/1.3.100.Final/ so that future builds of JBT 4.1.x can be aggregated from the released Freemarker 1.3.100.Final bits.

Point of this is so that staging folders like http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/staging/jbosstools-freemarker_41/all/repo/ don't have to be kept indefinitely, and in the event we accidentally delete one, we have a way to recreate a useful update site from the previously released binary bits w/o having to rebuild from an old tag.

> When we released JBT 4.1.0.Final, we didn't publish the individual projects as sites themselves, so now when we're trying to aggregate JBT 4.1.1.Alpha2 using a combination of unchanged older projects + changed newer projects, we're unable to do so.
> We could rebuild the projects from source, but it would be better to simply re-aggregate the binaries in order to produce subset sites which match the content of the released JBT site, but only for those individual projects.
> This would allow us to swap in/out projects like GWT, Freemarker, Birt, Hibernate and Portal, which haven't changed yet since JBT 4.1.0.Final was released.
