[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-19756) jbosstools-src.zip has incomplete/misleading version info in folder names/structure

[Max Rydahl Andersen (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-19756?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13065537#comment-13065537 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-19756:
---------------------------------------------

a) afaics it is common a zip unzips into a folder with actual content so users do not have to bother using unzip -d. At least thats what I see for most jboss.org, eclipse and apache projects I know of. 

b) _Final means nothing IMO. It is misleading.

For me the name should be correct, not partially correct. 
For me jbosstools-portlet-<sha/tagname> would be more appropriate.

The version in the pom.xml are secondary to this. If anything it should be tag used for the project.

The build alias would be in the build-info.json so I dont see the need to put it in the foldername when it is not real version or tag.

jbosstools-portlet-<sha1> and jbosstools-portlet-build-info.json seem to be the best we can do at this stage ?

> Downloading latest jbosstools-src.zip from http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/mars/snapshots/builds/jbosstools-build-sites.aggregate.site_master/latest/all/jbosstools-src.zip I see multiple files in root named:
> <componentname>_<buildqualifier>_<sha1>
> example: 
> jbosstools-javaee_Beta1-v20150501-0413-B767_149f9a46d5c676fd7119515e8b6aa796859955ad
> A few issues with this:
> a) it would have been nice unzipping would not create multiple root level folders. Maybe have a jbosstools-source folder as root ? 
> b) the buildqualifier is there but the version string for the component is not. Either put the full version string for that component (not overall jbosstools version) or just leave it as <component>-<sha> and have the root folder state the full version of jbosstools. since non-indulged user would not know this one had to do with 4.3.0.Beta1 or 4.2.3.Beta1 (for example).
