[YANGIDE-14] yangide p2 update site for Eclipse installation of yangide plugins (permanent, continously integrated)

Mon, 4 Nov 2019 14:08:05 +0000

[I'm not sure if this should be in Bugzilla project infrautils, integration, releng or yangide?]

Following the resolution of ~~YANGIDE-1~~ and YANGIDE-10 I'm now interested in bundling yangide as part of https://github.com/vorburger/opendaylight-eclipse-setup. I believe it would be quite valuable to the ODL developers community to have a nice YANG editor in their ready-made IDE ("ODL SDK"?), and get on-save code generation on YANG model changes.

This would be easy IFF I knew the URL of where on opendaylight.org we currently host the latest continuously integrated p2 site to distribute yangide?

Preferably this URL should be a fairly "stable" one, which doesn't keep changing, and one that will always hold the "latest" version of yangide (so I'd ideally like it NOT to have a 1.1.1-SNAPSHOT or so in the URL), so that the IDE would be able to continuously auto-update from there.

Personally I also don't care for "history" on this p2 site - if it always simply holds the latest build yangide plugins & features, for me that's just fine, IMHO.

p2 sites have a compositeContent.xml & compositeArtifacts.xml at the root. One could use it for a manual Eclipse Help > Install New Software Add Location - although I'll fully integrate it into opendaylight-eclipse-setup, no manually installation will be needed.

If we do not yet have this (HTTP web host a p2 site that is the result of the yangide repository update-site build result), let us use this bug to discuss how to this and make it available ASAP!

I've found https://nexus.opendaylight.org/service/local/repositories/opendaylight.snapshot/content/org/opendaylight/yangide/org.opendaylight.yangide.update-site/ which Jenkins pushes the plugins to, but don't see yet how to use this directly - you cannot directly install from there, can you? You would need Nexus to serve the contents of (the latest version of) the built yangide/product/update-site/target/org.opendaylight.yangide.update-site-*.zip ... I vaguely recall Nexus having built-in features/extra plugins to be able to do this, and am hoping someone knows exactly how to set this up.
