[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-18921) release webtools site for Eclipse 4.3 Mars to so WTP 3.7 discovery upstream can find it

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-18921?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13027373#comment-13027373 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-18921:
------------------------------------

TODO (based on call w/ Max today):

1. use  /updates/webtools/mars/ instead of new URL pattern w/ /stable/ because it will move from alpha to beta to cr to final as we release new milestones, and /stable/ is therefore not an accurate descriptor/path segment.

2. include in that folder whatever build Rob deems happy -- the latest 4.3.0.Alpha

3. document what file in the WTP discovery process actually controls the URL used for JBT so we can better test & develop for this; can then also attach a PR to the upstream bugzilla instead of just a patch

4. EXPERIMENT with:
a) symlink or composite site to point at nightly
b) including the <category name="org.eclipse.wst.server.core.serverAdapter"/> in the JBT site and categorizing the org.jboss.ide.eclipse.as.feature on that site so we no longer need to produce a second update site just for WTP
c) including a useful category description for the above category ( c ) so it can be ignored by users when browsing the JBT site

> Need a semi-working placeholder (even if it's a weak first alpha or copy of JBT 4.2.0's site) so that WTP can resolve a valid site for server adapters.
> Content that needs to be copied is here:
> http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/static/updates/JBossTools-4.2.0.Final.webtools/ (or something newer?)
> Destination folder (new folder hierarchy as of JBDS-3208 reorg):
> http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/mars/stable/updates/webtools/
> Upstream issue:
> https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=454810
