Naci,

Does this mean docs will not be included
in M8?

>They will not be built seperately but included
with features.  

I think it is a mistake to remove the
capability to build docs separately. Docs are typically written late in
the development cycle. A separate doc build gives us a way to update the
docs after a release without updating all of WTP (or WST, JST, or JSF).
In addition, the PMC discussed this on one of their calls (unfortunately
I can't find the minutes) where it was agreed that a separate doc build
will be beneficial to WTP.

Subject	[wtp-dev] Build changes

Committers,

In order to improve our builds, there has been some changes.  The
old 
build releng.builder is now retired. long live the releng.wtpbuilder.  
This will not have a major impact on most committers as releasing and 
maps stay the same with a few changes.  You might have noticed that
there are has been some differences.  The work is still in progress
so 
please bear with us and provide any feedback you have at:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=108186

Here is what is different.

    * Builds are continuous, the results are uploaded to a different
      area (http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/committers).
 These
      uploads are temporary and will be kept until a build
is declared. 
      When a build is declared it will be moved to regular
builds area
      (http://download.eclipse.org/webtools/downloads).
 The home page
      is not active but the but the trial builds can be
downloaded using
      the links in notice emails (wtp.releng mail list).
    * wtpbuilder separates build scripts removed api-checks and
      performances tests.  These will be done on declared
builds only. 
      This is work in progress.
    * wtpbuilder has the concept of a _component _and a
      _distributable_.  A _component _produces a jar
from feature
      definitions (such as jst or wst).  A distributable
is  a tested
      set of components (ı.e. wst, jst, jst.tests etc.)
which have a
      site where these reports can be reviewed and artifacts
can be
      downloaded.  Currently, only distributable is
wtp.
    * docs are not included in the current build.  They
will not be
      built seperately but included with features.  Any
component which
      is not top level, must be included in a top-level
feature.
      Currently wtp distributable has 8 top level features
(wst,
      wst-sdk, wst.tests, wts.perf.tests and jst equivalent
of these)
      (Lawrence can we update the features so that docs
get included
      with wst and jst)
