[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-19025) Separate JBT and JBDS Central and EA sites

[Mickael Istria (JIRA)]

Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-19025:
----------------------------------------

Another benefit is that currently, we're only validating the Central/EA .target against the jbosstools one, which doesn't guarantee anything about compatibility with JBDS. Splitting them would allow to have a real validation against JBDS TP.

> Currently, we have to repeat (and update very often) some JBT artifacts in the Central .target files because JBDS needs them.
> This adds some long steps to the JBT staging process ( https://github.com/jbdevstudio/jbdevstudio-devdoc/blob/master/release_guide/8.0/JBT42_Staging_For_QE.adoc#rebuild-target-platforms-for-central-and-early-access ), whereas this is a JBDS need.
> So we should split the content of Central/EA update sites for JBT and JBDS, and have them separated in distinct .target files: a Central/EA couple for JBT and another Central/EA couple for JBDS. JBDS only would add the necessary addition that are part of JBT but not part of JBDS.
> Since we're there, it would even be cleaner to have those artifacts in distinct repo, so that JBDS wouldn't leak in JBT.
