JBossIDE WTP 1.0 upgrade

[mculpepper]

Max, Koen..

I wanted to go ahead and start the process of figuring out how to upgrade our dependencies to WTP 1.0 (against the latest milesetone). It might be prudent to create seperate branches of our code so our nightly builds etc still run smoothly during the process...

i dont see the benefit of branching to do this - what should be the purpose ?

[mculpepper]

Again, for the nightly builds to continue building against HEAD uninterrupted until we can merge at a later time when everything is compatible at once.

At any rate, this was only a suggestion, but it might bring woes to our users who are using the nightlies ..

i plan on performing migration of the hibernatetools to M9 in the next week. I'll not do HEAD commit before I know how big a challange this stuff will become.

I'll keep you posted.

Besides the nighlty build is just the tool that can be used to make this migration easier/faster/better since we get validation that it can/cannot be built.

Do you guys have time to do M9 migration for your respective parts ?

Darryl Miles have posted a patch for hibernatetools at http://opensource2.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/browse/HBX-498

Ill use that as a basis for my adaption.

Let me know what your plans are for the other parts of JBoss IDE ?

The "core" part of the IDE is only concerned with WTP integration, as we aren't extending any of WTP (yet).

If there are any plugin ID changes, they will need to be changed in the feature.xml, but other than that I don't foresee anything needing testing other than integration testing (which will commence soon)

[maxandersen]

well changing the id's is probably also the hardest part to test since it require a clinical clean setup to not mess up their id resolve logic ;)
