Integrating with complex third-party software

I’m currently reviewing one of the “o.eclipse.core.*” modules and I can’t find a binary, so I should either upgrade or downgrade it.

I was wondering if we should either upgrade or downgrade the binaries of _all_ of the “o.eclipse.core.*” modules at once. In order to avoid subtle bugs that may arise if we choose versions coming from different Eclipse releases.

I imagine this also applies to all “o.eclipse.equinox.*”, maybe we want to upgrade all binaries matching a given Eclipse release.

Do you think we should match a given Eclipse release or is all this unnecessary?

Thanks,
Antonio

P.S.: I’ll try to find out which versions of different binaries correspond to a given Eclipse release (maybe we can find a POM/BOM somewhere at Eclipse’s Nexus).

Of interest:

Remove org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility* bundles
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=394739

It seems these were removed around 2016. Maybe we can get rid of these 
modules and keep the rest of binaries which are available in Maven Central.

Cheers,
Antonio

Eclipse binaries (was Re: Integrating with complex third-party software)

Posted by Antonio <an...@vieiro.net>.
Hi all,

I'm trying to find a coherent subset of Eclipse binaries. It's 
difficult. I've built some sample BOMs for org.eclipse.equinox.* and 
org.eclipse.core.* at [1].

The resulting dependencies are:

org.apache.netbeans:NBDEPS:jar:1.0-SNAPSHOT
+- org.eclipse.platform:org.eclipse.equinox.preferences:jar:3.7.0:provided
|  \- org.eclipse.platform:org.eclipse.equinox.common:jar:3.9.0:provided 
(version selected from constraint [3.2.0,4.0.0))
+- org.eclipse.platform:org.eclipse.equinox.security:jar:1.2.300:provided
+- org.eclipse.platform:org.eclipse.equinox.app:jar:1.3.400:provided
|  \- 
org.eclipse.platform:org.eclipse.equinox.registry:jar:3.7.0:provided 
(version selected from constraint [3.4.0,4.0.0))
+- org.eclipse.platform:org.eclipse.core.contenttype:jar:3.6.0:provided
+- org.eclipse.platform:org.eclipse.core.jobs:jar:3.9.0:provided
+- org.eclipse.platform:org.eclipse.core.net:jar:1.3.100:provided
|  \- org.eclipse.platform:org.eclipse.osgi:jar:3.12.0:provided (version 
selected from constraint [3.4.0,))
+- org.eclipse.platform:org.eclipse.core.runtime:jar:3.13.0:provided
\- 
org.eclipse.core:org.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility.auth:jar:3.2.200.v20100517:provided
    \- 
org.eclipse.equinox:org.eclipse.equinox.common:jar:3.6.0.v20100503:provided
       \- org.eclipse.osgi:org.eclipse.osgi:jar:3.6.0.v20100517:provided


Note that this subset of Eclipse binaries span different NetBeans 
modules (netbinox, o.eclipse.equinox.*, o.eclipse.core.runtime.*)

The main problem is that o.eclipse.core.runtime.compatibility.auth 
3.2.200 is very old and requires special (old) versions of 
org.eclipse.equinox.common (3.6.0) and org.eclipse.osgi (3.6.0). I'll 
try to find a recent version of this and try to make it work with the 
more recent Eclipse versions.

I think the rest of dependencies are a coherent subset of eclipse binary 
versions available in Maven central, and we could try to upgrade to them.

I'll try to take a look at mylyn binary versions (binaries are 
unavailable as reported in our "List of Modules to Review"). Will keep 
you posted in my findings.

Cheers,
Antonio

equinox (was Re: Integrating with complex third-party software)

Posted by Antonio <an...@vieiro.net>.
Hi all,

So I created a small Bill-Of-Materials (BOM) Maven project for Eclipse 
Equinox at [1], with the latest packages from Eclipse at maven central 
(mid october).

There's also a simple NBDEPS project that uses the BOM. Running a mvn 
dependency:tree on the NBDEPS project suggests the following versions:

org.eclipse.equinox.preferences:jar:3.7.0:provided
org.eclipse.equinox.common:jar:3.9.0:provided (version selected from 
constraint [3.2.0,4.0.0))
org.eclipse.equinox.security:jar:1.2.300:provided
org.eclipse.equinox.app:jar:1.3.400:provided
org.eclipse.equinox.registry:jar:3.7.0:provided (version selected from 
constraint [3.4.0,4.0.0))

(The BOM has only three dependencies, the other two: common & registry 
are computed by Maven).

We could choose those versions in our o.eclipse.equinox.* modules, right?

Unless someone reasonable stops me, I'll try to find out suggested 
versions for binaries affecting our o.eclipse.core* and 
o.eclipse.mylyn.* modules.

Cheers,
Antonio

Re: Integrating with complex third-party software

Posted by Antonio Vieiro <an...@vieiro.net>.
Long story short: Eclipse is currently working in publishing to Maven central ([1], [2]). They’ve released some preliminar tests in Maven central as of 2017/10/17 ([3, 4]), this is, a few days back.

(Their target milestone for this is 4.6.2, but they’re currently @ 4.7, so I imagine they’re late).

The good news is that they use version ranges for many artifacts. For instance, o.eclipse.core.runtime binary (see [4]) depends on org.eclipse.platform:org.eclipse.osgi [3.7.0,4.0.0).

In the following days I’ll try to enumerate all eclipse binary ranges (as recently published by them in Maven central) and compare those with the versions of our binaries, to see if we’re depending on a compatible version set. 

I think it would be a good idea if we upgrade all our eclipse binary dependencies to match their, say, 4.7 release?

I was wondering we could upgrade the “download task” in nbbuild to automatically select binary versions for eclipse binaries, so, for instance, our binaries-list could be something like:

eclipse://4.7/org.eclipse.core.jobs

And leave the responsibility of choosing (verifying) an appropriate version of “org.eclipse.core.jobs” to the download task.

Opinions? Too complicated? Should we leave this for later on?

Thanks,
Antonio

Hi,

I've been trying to find something similar to Wildfly BOMs [1] in the 
eclipse nexus repository without success. Maybe they don't have them. 
I'd like to see a well defined set of module versions 
(o.eclipse.core.net X.Y.Z, o.eclipse.core.runtime A.B.C, etc.), that are 
tested to work together. I'll keep trying.

I think NetBeans should also provide these BOMs for different releases, 
so you could include the "NetBeans 8.2 Platform BOM", or the "NetBeans 
9.1 Platform BOM" in your project and forget about individual module 
versions. Something to think about in the future.

I'll keep you posted of my findings.

Cheers,
Antonio

there was some talk, that eclipse hosts its artifacts in its own
repository (Emilian raised that already):

https://repo.eclipse.org/content/groups/releases/

They obviously setup a nexus instance for themselves:

https://repo.eclipse.org/

The solution could be, that the DownloadBinaries task is modified to
fetch binaries from multiple maven repositories.

What do the others think?
