RE: [higgins-dev] STS Build Instruction Notes
|
Sorry, Spanish brain cramp ... actualizar == to update, bring up to date ... actualize == to realize in action or make real. The latter could apply but I meant "bring up to date". Sorry, still learning English! ;)

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.
