Paul Leacu commented on JBTIS-508:
----------------------------------

Here's my proposal for the most pressing issue - removal of unwanted early access URLs in the Eclipse Luna
install update site list (without rebuilding anything):

1.  Update http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/discovery/stable/integration-stack/4.2.3.Final/ composites to contain the following children:
{code}
  <children size='3'>
  	<child location='http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/luna/'/>
  	<child location='http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/luna/integration-stack/aggregate/4.2.3.Final'/>
  	<child location='http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/targetplatforms/jbtistarget/4.2.7.Final/jbtis/REPO'/>
  </children>
{code}
2.  Create http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/discovery/stable/integration-stack/earlyaccess/4.2.3.Final/
   - composites to contain:
{code}
  <children size='3'>
  	<child location='http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/luna/'/>
  	<child location='http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/luna/integration-stack/aggregate/4.2.3.Final/earlyaccess'/>
  	<child location='http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/targetplatforms/jbtistarget/4.2.7.Final/jbtis/earlyaccess/REPO'/>
  </children>
{code}
   - modify the plugin.xml in the EA discovery jar to establish the following as the siteUrl:
{code}
siteUrl="${jboss.discovery.earlyaccess.site.integration-stack.url}"
{code}
3.  The current jbosstools-directory.xml  http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/luna/jbosstools-directory.xml appears as follows:
{code}
<directory xmlns="http://www.eclipse.org/mylyn/discovery/directory/">
<entry url="plugins/org.jboss.tools.central.discovery.earlyaccess_4.2.3.Final-v20150327-0914-B526.jar" permitCategories="true"/>
<entry url="plugins/org.jboss.tools.central.discovery_4.2.3.Final-v20150409-0637-B528.jar" permitCategories="true"/>
<entry permitCategories="true" url="plugins/org.jboss.tools.central.discovery.integration-stack_4.2.3.Final-v20150824-1515-B22.jar"/>
<entry permitCategories="true" url="plugins/org.jboss.tools.central.discovery.integration-stack.earlyaccess_4.2.3.Final-v20150824-1515-B22.jar"/>
</directory>
{code}
   I'll copy the updated IS EA jar into the parent plugins directory.
4.  Create a composite site http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/discovery/stable/integration-stack/earlyaccess/ which references 
    http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/discovery/stable/integration-stack/earlyaccess/4.2.3.Final/
5.  Modify ide-config.properties to set the jboss.discovery.earlyaccess.site.integration-stack.url property:
{code}
jboss.discovery.earlyaccess.site.integration-stack.url|jbosstools|4.2.4=http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/discovery/stable/integration-stack/earlyaccess/
jboss.discovery.earlyaccess.site.integration-stack.url|jbosstools|4.2=http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/discovery/stable/integration-stack/earlyaccess/
{code}

That should do it for JBT.  I'd like to complete everything there and then proceed to do similar things to devstudio.  It works locally for me.

> jboss.discovery.site.integration-stack.url|jbosstools|4.2.4=http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/discovery/stable/integration-stack/
> {code}
> The stable release for 4.2.4 is stated to point to the stable integration stack url which on surface looks good:
> But there are a few problems:
> 1) why not just point to http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/updates/stable/luna/ and have the above internal detail url composited in ?
> 2) the actual composite behind it right now is http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/discovery/stable/integration-stack/4.2.3.Final/compositeContent.xml which links in http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/discovery/stable/integration-stack/4.2.3.Final/compositeContent.xml (our main sites should never composite earlyaccees since then when users install supported versions they suddenly will now also have access to earlyaccess.
> #1 is mainly just to reduce the number of updatesites actually necessary for users to work with
> #2 seems to be something inherent broken in the IS build since earlyaccess shold *never* be aggregated into the release site.
> Any earlyaccess connectors should explicitly point to a *separate* earlyaccess site.
> I would also have expected that the discovery site with the discovery plugins was kept *separate* from the actual update sites to avoid any coupling between these.
