[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-20763) Provide 'oc' binaries per platform

[Max Rydahl Andersen (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-20763?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13111494#comment-13111494 ] 

Max Rydahl Andersen commented on JBIDE-20763:
---------------------------------------------

that or wrap oc in a p2 installable unit and download it when need be.

btw. a side issue for this is how we ensure 'oc's 'api' that we rely on won't change or how we handle mulitple versions of it. is oc's api well-defined/guaranteed like the client api ?

> Instead of forcing the user to search, download and install the 'oc' library manually before being able to use port forwarding or log streaming, the platform-related binary could be installed automatically.
> Possible implementation:
> - define the oc binary URLs in stacks.yaml
> - on openshift 3 plugin startup, check if oc binary is set in preferences
> - if not set trigger background job to d/l oc binary matching current platform, and update preferences, else, do nothing.
> [~maxandersen] does it correspond to what you had in mind?
