Redirecting nested projects in the catalog? [message #1725799]

Colleagues in my company start to like oomph so much, they don't only want to use or maintain existing setups, they would like to maintain their own "sub catalogs" so that each team is free to add new setups to their "section" of a company-wide catalog.

The first levels of nesting and redirecting I got to work OK: a company wide catalog has some toplevel <project> elements that simply create a nesting structure, and then leaf <project> nodes use href to refer to a URL where Jenkins deploys the individual setup (could also link into git/svn - same difference).

Just the last step I cannot get to work: to extract intermediate <project> nodes to separated files, that are again containers for individual setups (the team specific sub-catalogs). Can this possibly work?

For illustration, I'm trying s.t. like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup:ProjectCatalog
    xmi:version="2.0"
    xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:setup="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0"
    name="comp.projects"
    label="Catalog of all Comp Projects">
  <project href="http://eclipse.comp.com/oomph/Team1.setup#/"/>
  <project href="http://eclipse.comp.com/oomph/Team2.setup#/"/>
</setup:ProjectCatalog>

And in Team1.setup:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<setup:Project
    xmi:version="2.0"
    xmlns:xmi="http://www.omg.org/XMI"
    xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
    xmlns:setup="http://www.eclipse.org/oomph/setup/1.0"
    name="team1.comp.projects"
    label="Catalog of Team1 Projects">
  <project href="http://eclipse.comp.com/oomph/Team1.1.setup#/"/>
  <project href="http://eclipse.comp.com/oomph/Team1.2.setup#/"/>
</setup:Project>

best,
Stephan

Stephan,

That should work. What's not working?

Hi Ed,

thanks for confirming. Now that you said it, it actually does work (with no changes on my side, so oomph seems to obey to your command Smile

).

Seriously, I suspect that half of my attempts the other day may have been working with stale cached information. I saw progress messages about mirroring the catalog or individual setups. What gesture will cause oomph to reload the catalog/setups? I thought restarting would suffice, but it seem it does not?

This question not only applies to the installer but also to the IDE: what's the easiest way to force "Perform Setup Tasks" to reload the installed setup?

Stephan,

Yes, restarting should load the remote resources again. The installer
always tries to load remote resources and uses the cache only if that
fails. If you show the Setup toolbar contributions (there's a
preference for that), there's an action on the toolbar to refresh the
remote cache, and failing that, in the Oomph preferences for Remote
resources there's a button to refresh the cache.
