[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-18876) Improve TP publishing so changes released to git or deployed to nexus would not break developer local builds

Mickael Istria commented on JBIDE-18876:
----------------------------------------

I don't think we update the TP that often to make such a change that valuable. Also, the suggested approach has risk of making some build working while the new TP would make them fail. In case of TP incompatibility with component build, the effect is mainly that it makes the feedback loop longer; and that is the opposite purpose of continuous integration and agility.
Sometimes, trying to make things work is a quality anti-pattern, the goal of CI is more to make things fail ASAP whenever they have to.

> Latest Thym update is 'good' example for this problem. I was in the middle of testing some changes in parent/pom.xml and suddenly build start to fail with Thym resolution problem. IMO what happened is TP .target files were published to nexus before actual p2-repos appeared online. Building from latest revision didn't help ether because of the same problem. I had to revert to previous revision to continue my task.
> So it would be good if TP builds publish binaries first and then release TP sources to git and deploy to nexus. 
> Please note, that when sftp/rsync for unified TP binaries is finished it doesn't mean p2-repos are available from download.jboss.org right away.
