| [cbi-dev] Tycho-friendly API Tools |
|
Hi all, Since we'd like to have some API Tools for JBoss Tools, but we're trying to avoid any eclipserun or antrunner plugin to do this job because they make the build more difficult to maintain, we've worked on Mojo that does what we need of API Tools. We've already described our efforts here: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=399276 Here is the latest version of this mojo and dependencies: https://github.com/mickaelistria/apitooling You'll see on the documentation how to give it a try without requiring to build anything (we have some experimental Nexus repo that contain everything necessary). There are currently 2 goals: * one to generate .api_description file on eclipse-plugin * one to generate api reports on an eclipse-plugin or an eclipse-repository that compares bundles with a baseline. That is something we'd like to contribute to Tycho and CBI when it's good enough. But before that, we'd like to collect some feedback. So if you have time to give it a try, please do it, and give us feedback. This can be answers to this mail, GitHub issues or pull requests. You'll notice that the Mojo has some Eclipse bundles as dependencies, that needs to be available in a Maven repositories. We just put them in one of our repo using a "mvn deploy-file". That also raise the question of whether the artifacts built by CBI should go into a Nexus repository for wider-consumption (by wider I mean out of Eclipse, in a Maven mojo, in a webapp, in an Android app...)
