Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBDS-3191:
-------------------------------------------

just to be clear - I believe the main updatesite should be there from day one. First initial alpha build. No need to wait for beta.
And when the beta is out the users will get updates because ide.properties will have told the tools to add the updatesite.

> JBDS-3190 has shown that there are too many changes to perform when willing to create a GA candidate, and it's almost certain that we'll forever forget to change one or some of them when switching between GA and development stream.
> We need to improve that.
> Changes are necessary in:
> * features/com.jboss.devstudio.core/feature/p2.inf
> * site/associate.properties
> * results/pom.xml
> As an alternative, I suggest that the final site be ALWAYS added to the referenced site, even if it's empty. This has no cost for build nor user, and this would simplify a few things here and there.
> Also, instead of a p2.inf, we could think a a "startup" extension that would add reference to development site in case qualifier for the feature doesn't contain GA.
> The property to the "current site" (GA or development) could be factorized in JBDS parent pom. so that both results/pom.xml and site/pom.xml could use it (instead of associateSites.properties).
