             Summary: create verification test to ensure that we never point a GA release at snapshot or staging URLs in ide-config.properties
                 Key: JBDS-4112
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBDS-4112
             Project: Red Hat JBoss Developer Studio (devstudio)
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: build
    Affects Versions: 10.2.0.AM1, 10.1.0.GA
            Reporter: Nick Boldt


As reported in https://developer.jboss.org/message/964029#964029 it seems there may have been a situation where a user installed devstudio 10.1.0.GA from the installer jar, but then using Central got the staging/snapshot URLs into their Available Update Sites, which then caused them to be prompted to update to 10.2.

Mixing an AM1 staging build into a .GA stable build should not happen.

We need a better test/check to ensure that if GA is live, its ide-config.properties content NEVER points to the future snapshot/staging content.

This testing could be part of the staging/release guide, but could also be run as a Jenkins job to check at intervals:

* ide-config.properties: URLs exist, are valid, don't 404, don't mismatch content
* foundation plugin / devstudio version plugin have correct version (eg., can't still be GA after GA is live) - see https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/view/DevStudio/view/DevStudio_Master/job/jbosstools-releng-push-to-staging-01-check-versions-branches-root-poms_master/configure job
