[bpmn2-modeler-dev] Target Platform improvements
|
Hi guys,
I got happy to see that bpmn2-modeler is part of eclipse now, and happy
to see lot of improvements since last time I worked with the editor from
github. Congratulations to all team.
But I got some problems installing the plugin from the created update site.
After clone the source, I saw some outdated things within the tycho
build, mainly in the org.eclipse.bpmn2.modeler.updatesite.feature, that
is not creating the site.zip properly. I got some difficult to create a
target platform properly inside the IDE, too.
So I would like to propose some improvements:
- move the site project to a p2 repository project instead;
Besides, using a P2 repo let us to create Composite Repositories, so
we can facilitate the installation of the plugin and all dependencies
using only one p2 address.
- create a target platform description project (containing one target
file per eclipse version, helios/indigo/juno) to easy creation of the
dev environment at IDE; actually, this is better than work with
repositories at pom, because it will be cases where we need to build
with different dependencies components versions depending which IDE
version (for example: EMF, 2.7 at Indigo and 2.8 at Juno).
- add a juno profile at main pom;
cheers
