[cross-project-issues-dev] JustJ JREs and download.eclipse.org Browsing

Hi,

I wanted to make the community aware that the initial prototyping work for providing JREs that can be redistributed by Eclipse is now complete.

The JustJ project is well documented.  You can find the details here:

  https://www.eclipse.org/justj/

If you want to cut to the chase, see this section for how to try this out in your product:

  https://www.eclipse.org/justj/?page=documentation#products

Please keep in mind that everything located in "sandbox" is transient and subject to arbitrary change and removal.

I've documented the ci instance as well and have made the job configurations readable:

  https://ci.eclipse.org/justj/

Please use either https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=562908 or the forum https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/f/532/ to provide feedback or to ask questions.

As an extra goody, I wanted a better browser for the contents of https://download.eclipse.org so I implemented a PHP script specifically for that purpose.   I did this for JustJ's content, but the result is fully general so I generalized it to provide the following link from which to get started at the root:

  https://download.eclipse.org/justj/?file=

Starting here, you can browse anything on the download.eclipse.org server.   It has the advantage that you can browse folder content even if there is an index.html or index.php in that folder.

I took this one step further for my own project via this link:

https://download.eclipse.org/justj/www/download.eclipse.org.php?parambuild=true

I.e., it adds action links to the browser to help manage the justj site.

I asked for https://plugins.jenkins.io/build-with-parameters/ to be installed via this:

  https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=562477#c20

This allows me to open a parameterized build's page with pre-configured parameter values.  Specifically this simple build:

https://ci.eclipse.org/justj/job/internal/job/genie.justj-ssh/configure

The delete folder action links can (and does) open a page like this:

I.e., the links can run an arbitrary script with genie's credentials.  Of course only authenticated users with genie.justj group permissions can actually do this.

Regards,
Ed
