[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-17536) JBoss Tools Core Nightly update site fails to install if a new build is published during install

[Nick Boldt (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-17536?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12974276#comment-12974276 ] 

Nick Boldt commented on JBIDE-17536:
------------------------------------

If you want a site that contains ONLY the latest single build of JBT from master, aggregated from the upstream projects into a single self-contained update site (which omits things like test plugins) then you want:

http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/core/master/

However, it is subject to change as new builds replace it and are published on top. So if you're running an install and the contents change, you'll have to restart the install.

If you want a site that composites the latest N nightly builds into a single URL from which you can install the N or N-1 or N-2 build, regardless of whether a new N+1 build appears while you're installing, then you want:

http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/nightly/core/master/

Try the /builds/ URL instead of the /updates/ URL and see if it's right for you. Content will only vanish if it's mor than 2 days old, if I recall correctly. So unless your install takes more than 2 days, you won't have to restart it should a new nightly be published.

> When you install JBT nightly from http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/core/master/ into Eclipse and during the build, a new nightly build replaces the old one, you can get a failure like this:
> {code}http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/nightly/core/master/features/org.jboss.tools.wtp.runtimes.tomcat.feature_1.1.0.Beta3-v20140603-0027-B526.jar cannot be found{code}
> This is because during your install, the old jars were replaced with the new jars, i.e. different filenames.
> I'm not sure if it's something we really need to fix, it's open for discussion. But it happened to me yesterday and it wasn't the first time, so I'm throwing it on the table.
> Nick offered this alternative:
> install from a specific build folder instead of the "latest nightly"
> http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/nightly/core/master/2014-06-04_06-40-59-B8878/all/repo/
> http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/nightly/core/master/2014-06-04_09-46-40-B8879/all/repo/
> But obviously that's just a workaround, not a real solution.
> One way this could be achieved is this: plugins/ and features/ would contain jars from both the latest and previous builds. This way if you start installing (latest=build N) and in the middle of your installation there is a new build (N+1), there would still be jars for both N and N+1 builds.
