RE: [higgins-dev] STS Build Instruction Notes

["Tom Doman" <TDoman@xxxxxxxxxx>]

1. Yeah.
2. I mean "dep" on the STS: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Token_Service_Dependencies.  Like I was telling Mary, it may only be the Axis Bundle TBD that's missing but I can't tell until I know what's in that bundle.
3. I mean Jim's build instructions here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Token_Service_Build_Instructions.  They are getting more and more stale as we change the build system and it'd be good to have them follow.  That is, they currently require verbal clarification due to build system changes.
4. 5. Right, I suppose we'll use a combo of these.

Yes. I would say it this way: all sub-projects of the Higgins Token Service
component. The Token Service now has a separate table here
(http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Components) that shows a total of 6
projects.

I presume you mean the "ide" and "cli" links pages (and thereby getting rid
of the current "instructions" link) shown here
http://wiki.eclipse.org/index.php/Components

If they are third party and have been approved you have some choices: The
easiest/quickest thing to do is to just copy them into the "libs" subfolder
of each Higgins Eclipse project needs. (See better options in 5. below)

In the long run we will probably want to wrap each separate third party
lib/jar as a separate Eclipse plugin project. This is the "Eclipse Way"
because it provides the power of the extra metadata in the project's
manifest to help other projects that are dependent on this one manage
version compatibility.

And in the long run for any third party lib/jars that are of interest to
other projects (beyond Higgins). That is, the fairly generic ones, we
should, as Mary said, check them into Orbit.
