Re: [mylyn-docs-dev] Releases to Maven Central
Doing a separate Docs release sounds very good to me! It's great to see that we can finally publish WikiText as proper Maven artifacts that can easily be consumed as a dependency in any Java project.

However, I would prefer to release all of Docs along with the core. I don't see any good reason to delay releases of WikiText UI bits. It would also potentially complicate the Mylyn release process to pull in relevant parts of the WikiText build only and it's not clear to me where the WikiText core p2 repository would be consumed from.

What if we kept both release processes entirely decoupled and simply consumed the latest WikiText release on the Mylyn composite sites? That way consumers wouldn't notice a difference and Mylyn and Docs could release on their own cadence.

Devs,

I'd like to release Mylyn WikiText to Maven Central as part of bug 511120 https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=511120
We now have a build[1] that can do that for the "core" bits of WikiText using the maven-release-plugin.

My current plan is to do a Mylyn Docs release per the EDP[2], but only release the Mylyn WikiText "core" bits.  The rest of Mylyn Docs including the WikiText UI bits would release in conjunction with all of Mylyn per our existing process.

This change in process will enable consumers outside of the Eclipse ecosystem to consume WikiText, and will also enable us to release more frequently.

Let me know if you have any feedback, positive or otherwise!

David
