[jgit-dev] Re: [egit-dev] How to build [EJ]Git?
|
OK, this thread has gone on long enough. We're now just talking
circles around each other.
Right now I think we should:
* JGit:
Use Maven 2.x, pom-first, maven-bundle-plugin.
Consider checking in .project, .classpath files which use the
PDE nature, the m2eclipse nature, and the m2eclipse classpath
container. I'll prepare a change to add these today and send
it for review.
Consider a subdirectory holding a Tycho build that creates a proper
feature and packages the project for P2. IMHO the feature for
JGit should be part of the JGit project and not the EGit project.
But the last time I tried this I ran into issues in Tycho so I
most likely will need help from Igor to figure it out.
Right now I massively favor pom-first here, because as Jason
has already pointed out, many IDEs understand this format for a
project description, and I only want to maintain it once.
* EGit:
Use Tycho, manifest-first.
Fix ASAP https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=297584 so
Buckminster can actually start relying on EGit's core plugin.
Evaluate Buckminster vs. Tycho after things have stablized a bit
more in both camps. Both seem like really good tools, but are
each having their own little growing pains right now.
Either way, the EGit build shall be manifest-first because that
is the OSGi standard way, and development support in non-Eclipse
IDEs irrelevant. Which is why I want to revisit and evaluate
Buckminster in the near future.
