[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-16309) Move inter-JBT dependencies to component poms

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-16309?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12935997#comment-12935997 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-16309:
------------------------------------

Careful, we don't want to end up with a property for jbosstools-site-base and another for the jbosstools-base project's site, eg., jbosstools-base-site. Because that could be confusing. :)

> It has been discussed several times that the composite site is a kind of "weak point" in our build chain, because it allows cyclic dependencies, and it also introduces indirections that make it less straightforward to find out what a project should/does depend on to build.
> The benefit of composite now seem a bit light: it's cool because we can put it in parent pom and all builds succeed to get there dependencies, but out of that, there hasn't been much other use-cases. And as we want to provide more and more autonomy to project, this composite site they'd depend on is something that doesn't make them autonomous.
> So the idea is to move dependencies to project root poms. I've made a draft of how it would look like in project pom if we remove the "jbosstools-site" from parent pom and let projects manage their inter-dependencies: https://github.com/mickaelistria/jbosstools-javaee/tree/JBIDE-16309
> You can try this by running "mvn clean verify -P\!jbosstools-site". The "-P\!jbosstools-site" disable the jbosstools-site profile, which is the one controlling addition of the composite or ggregate to the resolver
