Re: [wtp-pmc] Fw: [wtp-dev] using jgit in JSDT/WTP (follow up from last

[Chuck Bridgham <cbridgha@xxxxxxxxxx>]

This will be discussed in today's status
call,  but I would still like additional technical reason's to include
the jGit dependency - especially because of the release restrictions we
currently have.
Can an optional dependency be used instead,
Or can an alternative package for repository support be delivered separately?
 
I can think of a few examples where
projects provide optional adapters  (m2e) that integrate with git,
cvs, and other scm systems.   I think this should be explored.

PMC members,

I did some follow up on this.  Xtend was merged into Xtext a while
ago- see https://projects.eclipse.org/content/restructure-merge-xtend
.  As such, it is really only two dependencies that we would need
to set up.  The issue now is jGit's offset- both WTP and Xtend are
at +2, but jGit (and eGit) is at +3, meaning that they declare their final
version the day after WTP declares its final version.  Simply put,
that doesn't work, and thus is a technical limitation that would need to
be overcome.
Moving WTP's contribution to +3 is a solution, but I don't know how well
the community would receive that- there are some +3 projects already that
depend on WTP.
Asking jGit to move up to +2 is an option.
And of course, finding out what Obeo's contribution gains us, and how important
it is (and it's jGit dependencies) would further improve our picture of
what to do here.  (But I haven't had the time to look into that.)

FWIW,

Hi,

We are looking at including the contribution from Obeo related to bower
support to fetch dependencies.

One part of this is that it needs to use git to fetch dependencies, it
does that by using jgit.

How can we get to use jgit from WTP/JSDT code base ?

Victor raised this on last WTP call 
(https://wiki.eclipse.org/WTP_2014-12-11)
but there seem to not have
been any follow up ?

(Victor is on russian orthodox PTO's so he won't be back until next 
Monday, hence why I ask this in hope someone know :)
