Re: [m2e-dev] Questions about the m2eclipse-wtp release process

Igor,

I totally agree m2e-wtp needs to be available ASAP. If #2 and #4 can help us cut the red tape, then I'm all for that.
I *believe* #2 would be easier to automate and thus would facilitate m2e-wtp distribution via the m2e marketplace, like right now (just build the master branch at https://github.com/sonatype/m2eclipse-wtp.git).
But in the end, you decide what's simpler for you, since both solutions imply work on your side.

On a semi-related note, Chuck Bridgham asked me about incubating m2e-wtp over at eclipse. What's the position of Sonatype on that matter?

Regards,

Fred Bricon

I can help with #2 and #4. #3 will need to go through Sonatype
management. I am not sure about code ownership implications on #1.

Also, I think it is very important to re-enable m2e-wtp in m2e
marketplace and make sure war/ear/etc project import works from clean
m2e install and from java epp package.

Hi,

as I indicated in a previous mail, JBoss provides nightly builds of
m2eclipse-wtp 0.13.0 at
download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/staging/m2eclipse-wtp-e36/all/repo/
<http://download.jboss.org/jbosstools/builds/staging/m2eclipse-wtp-e36/all/repo/>

This version is compatible with m2e 1.0.0. So we intend to release a
final version at some point around the Indigo release (June 22nd).

In order to prepare the next release of m2eclipse-wtp (and subsequent
ones), I can imagine several options :
1 - On release day, we ask Sonatype to point its m2eclipse-extras update
site to the JBoss update site.
That means JBoss needs to provide access to versioned builds - only the
latest dev build is set up so far-
2 - On release day, Sonatype builds and publishes m2eclipse-wtp on its
own infrastructure, given a tagged version in github, then updates the
m2eclipse-extras update site
3 - Sonatype grants JBoss deploy access to its forge-site repo, so
m2eclipse-wtp builds can be pushed / released directly by JBoss on the
target update site, at any time
4 - On release day,  JBoss provides a zipped update site to Sonatype.
Sonatype does all the necessary updates  / deployments

Obviously, #1 seems the most flexible solution, however the
m2eclipse-wtp project is currently owned by Sonatype. As such, it would
make sense
for the release builds to be hosted on Sonatype's infra (legally speaking).

So, what's the plan? :-)
