How to test new custom ProjectCatalog? [message #1729977]

Hello Oomph-ers,

So I'm working on https://github.com/vorburger/opendaylight-eclipse-setup with the goal of "giving Oomph" to the hundreds of Java projects of https://www.opendaylight.org which are spread across 80+ Git repos in https://git.opendaylight.org/gerrit/#/admin/projects/

Inspired by the structure from http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/tree/setups/ I've created an org.opendaylight.projects.setup which is a ProjectCatalog containing e.g. a <project href="projects/vpnservice.setup#/"/> (and 80 more like this later) where projects/vpnservice.setup is a Project having a <logicalProjectContainer xsi:type="setup:ProjectCatalog" href="../org.opendaylight.projects.setup#/"/>

Q1: Does this kind of structure make sense? Any comments / changes you would make to the basic outline above how I can now try this out locally while putting this together?

Q2: Now I'm stuck how to test this - the "Eclipse Installer" UI only has Add User Products and User Projects, but no way of adding a new custom setup:ProjectCatalog .. I must be missing something obvious?

Thank you!!!
M.

Is all that open source? We can consider adding more public catalogs...

Sounds like what we've done...

We do provide two redirectable catalogs, e.g.,

http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/tree/setups/redirectable.projects.setup

so with a
-Doomph.redirection.whatever=http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/tree/setups/redirectable.projects.setup-><your-project-catalog-uri>
you can virtually add it to the common index.

Yep, OpenDaylight is 100% source - Linux Foundation and all. Would LOVE to have this showing up in the Installer out-of-the-box - I'll send you a Gerrit, once this all works..

> We do provide two redirectable catalogs

With -Doomph.redirection.opendaylight=index:/redirectable.projects.setup->file:/home/vorburger/dev/ODL-byOomph/git/opendaylight-eclipse-setup/org.opendaylight.projects.setup, note using index:/redirectable.projects.setup instead of http://git.eclipse.org/c/oomph/org.eclipse.oomph.git/tree/setups/redirectable.projects.setup, as someone documented on https://wiki.eclipse.org/Eclipse_Oomph_Authoring#Hosting_your_own_index_.2F_catalogs (RTFM first next time..), it does now show up a new catalog, but it's EMPTY.

What's VERY STRANGE is that it's not empty and seems to work (more tests TBD) if I refer to the SAME setup by adding a new <projectCatalog href="file:/home/vorburger/dev/ODL-byOomph/git/opendaylight-eclipse-setup/org.opendaylight.projects.setup#/"/> before the <projectCatalog href="redirectable.projects.setup#/"/> of org.eclipse.setup in an Oomph'd Oomph development workspace (you don't even have to launch a IDE or Setup - because org.eclipse.setup is redirected). So I know once I'm done and send you a Gerrit it should work for others in the end - but why does the redirectable.projects.setup not work (Catalog showing, but empty)? For local testing by beta testers, without having to have a full Oomph'd Oomph development workspace, and until we have a merged Gerrit, that would still be very handy... help! Wink

PS just FYI others: One also has to remember, and I forgot, to enable such new catalogs by selecting it in the folders icon of the drop-down in the upper right hand corner of the wizard's Projects page, otherwise it will be invisible. I've updated the Wiki about that.
