| [incubation] Humongous pre-req deps |
|
Hi, In the process of migrating Ceylon to Eclipse, I've made several dozens CQs, and I'm already quite fed up, because all of this is manual and repetitive. But I'm seeing the end, and I'm down to two huge deps, that are pre-reqs IMO, but I don't think I can make CQs for them: - IntelliJ IDEA, because we have an IJ plugin, which quite obviously pre-reqs on IDEA, since it requires it to build and run, and uses several jars from it, which have who knows what runtime deps. I've made a CQ for IJ IDEA sources, which is a 50meg zip file, but I forgot IJ also has jar deps. 610 to be precise. I've no idea which transitive jars my plugin actually requires, but I'll venture that I probably can't know that easily. - Play Framework 1.2.6, for a web application written for this framework. Again obvious pre-req since it's required to build and run. Same problem about dependencies not being obvious but the jar list is 61. I am really supposed to make 671 CQs just for those two pre-reqs? I don't think I can, without it being a full-time job for months. And I don't think I want to, because there's no way I'd do that again when we upgrade our dep. What possible solution do I have here? Thanks. |
