Re: [m2e-dev] semantic versioning / Re: Starting a 2.0 with breaking changes soon?
|
Just from a users perspective, if I need to find an example pom and copy
large parts from it, I would qualify this as "complex".
I also always get annoyed by API tool when develop Platform code because
it either gives me false positives the build does *not* complain, does
not give me errors the build complains, or I had to perform lengthy
setup tasks to get the 'right' baseline.
Anyways this might be possible to getting more smooth or its just my
inability to understand that API baselining :-)
What I have in mind should more be setup in 5 minutes than 2 hrs...

I don't buy that PDE API Tools are too complex to set up, and don't
believe it's the reason why so few projects do use them:
* In the IDE, it's a few clicks to enable and setup a baseline in
preferences
* In Maven/Tycho, it's one (sure, 219 lines) profile to copy-paste:
https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator/blob/master/eclipse-platform-parent/pom.xml#L730..L949
<https://github.com/eclipse-platform/eclipse.platform.releng.aggregator/blob/master/eclipse-platform-parent/pom.xml#L730..L949>
. While a more compact solution for Maven would be nice, we can't really
say that copy-pasting 1 profile is really cumbersome and that those
steps are too difficult to perform to be the main reason for not using
API Tools.
If you want to start using PDE API Tools in m2e, it's probably about 2
hours of work to tweak the parent pom and the .project files so it's
enabled, and most of that time time would be actually waiting to verify
some build output.
I'm not really advocating PDE API Tools over BND baselining here, I just
want to make sure that we identify the right pros and cons of each if we
want to pick one, or both; so I just reject the argument that the setup
is a major difficulty for PDE API Tools.
Cheers,
