[epp-dev] Re: Questions about EPP build, and pulling capability bundles

[Markus Knauer <mknauer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

FYI: I've removed org.eclipse.wtp.epp.package.* from the EPP build now. That means that the "jee.intro"
bundle needs to be available from the Helios repository and will be pulled from there.

Regards, Markus

Hi David,

indeed, EPP has been building the jee.intro bundle for you - we added this to the Buckminster build where we build the "package products". That's why there is no real map file, it is just defined there that it needs to check out and to build some bundles from the WTP CVS in order to fulfill all the dependencies.

I am more than happy to remove the jee.intro bundle from the build and to pull it from the Helios repo.

Thanks,
Markus

Hi Markus,

As you might notice in
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=300913
I have figured out how to get our capability bundles into the common repo, without using a feature. So they are "in there" (now in /releases/staging) even though you can't see them with the normal install UI. (as desired)

But, I have been able to pull them out using the p2.mirror ant task, so I am hoping that is enough for you to be able to apply the patch in
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=300913
and build right away without further to-do.

Now for the question. About the "jee.intro" bundle. How have you been getting that? I don't think it was in the repo last year, and wonder if you have a map file somewhere and "build" it in the EPP build?
If so, I'm wondering if you can drop that now, as I've also put it in the central repository using the same system as for the capability bundles ... that is, just the bundle is there, unseen by most, but pullable if you know to ask for it.
Seems that'll be a much easier system, as we can make fixes, etc., without involving you. But ... like I said, I don't recall how that was ever working. Its listed in the jee package feature ... and wouldn't it be cool if that was enough to get it from the central repository! But, if you have a map file too, there might be some to-do?

Much thanks,
