[jira] Created: (GERONIMODEVTOOLS-511) Provide zip download of
Geronimo Eclipse Plugin complete with requisites
Provide zip download of Geronimo Eclipse Plugin complete with requisites
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: GERONIMODEVTOOLS-511
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMODEVTOOLS-511
Project: Geronimo-Devtools
Issue Type: Wish
Components: eclipse-plugin
Affects Versions: 2.1.2
Reporter: Jürgen Weber
Assignee: Tim McConnell
Please provide a zip / tar.gz download of Geronimo Eclipse Plugin complete with all requisites, inclusive a stripped-down Eclipse itself.
The zip should not contain eclipse as root folder but rather eclipseGeronimo to not overwrite the default Eclipse installation.
The download options described in http://geronimo.apache.org/development-tools.html
require that WTP and some more are installed. Installing WTP is error-prone, as it has lots of dependencies you need in the right version.
Installing via Eclipse-Help-Software Updates does not work either as the Update manager is not smart enough to install requisites:
Geronimo v1.0 Server Adapter (2.0.0) requires feature "org.eclipse.jst (2.0.0)", or compatible
The given ant script does not work behind our firewall, and I am not keen on figuring out how the firewall options of ant work.

Ted, might it be that the update site was remembered somewhere else? I had to enter it, and I would doubt, that a fresh Eclipse installation would know about the Geronimo site, where should it know that from?

Ted Kirby commented on GERONIMODEVTOOLS-511:
--------------------------------------------
It turns out that WTP knows about http://www.apache.org/dist/geronimo/eclipse/updates/, and queries this (our) site for server adapters, specifically any features tagged with org.eclipse.wst.server.core.serverAdapter, and then filter out any old versions.
In my test, I did use a freshly installed copy of Eclipse. I have never heard about having to add the update site URL for that function to work. In our install instructions (http://cwiki.apache.org/GMOxDOC21/how-to-install-geronimo-eclipse-plugin.html), the first option is to use Download Additional Server Adapters. The second is to use our eclipse update site. If you have to add the update site, I figure you may as well install with it using the instructions.

Tim McConnell commented on GERONIMODEVTOOLS-511:
------------------------------------------------
My two cents:
1) The initial request from Jürgen Weber would actually be fairly simple to provide, especially since we already do pretty much the exact thing when we build the GEP. We download the platform-specific version of Eclipse that we require into our local M2 repo to create Eclipse installation. Aslo, when we invoke the GEP testsuite we do the same but then install all the GEP features/plugins in the that Eclipse installation. So we have everything in place -- we would only have to zip them up and make them available. Alternatively, instead of storing the resultant zip/tar file(s) we might consider just making the Ant/Maven scripts available to accomplish the same thing. But even if we do this I'm not sure it would simplify much for the end-user since the current installation process is almost trivial (in my opinion) especially with the all-in-one Eclipse bundles that provides all the prereqs.
2) Actually, I have thought quite a bit about a so-called "Geronimo Studio" that Jürgen Weber suggests and think we should consider it or at least discuss in more detail. I can envision this as a light-weight development environment that follows the same model as the Geronimo server. Namely, to integrate and incorporate various other open-source development projects (i.e., Eclipse plugins) into an integrated Java EE development environment specifically for Geronimo. A single download with imbedded Geronimo server(s), GEP, other open-source Eclipse plugins that provide function not currently in the GEP, and possibly some tutorials/samples, might be appealing to many users, especially those who want to experiment with and/or prototype with Geronimo. I could go on forever, but the idea here would be to provide everything the user wants/needs in a development environment without them having to download everything separately and then installing and configuring them -- the very same rationale we have for using the Geronimo server.

-----------------------------------------------
Have you looked at the latest test builds of GEP 2.1.3? Ted has reduced and merged the number of plugins down to one, so your argument about too many plugins has been resolved.
I still would rather not provide a GEP + Eclipse bundle, as all it would be is the Europa JEE package + our deployable zip. Until I start seeing a large number of GEP users asking for a "Geronimo Studio" bundle, I still feel like we would be wasting our time building, testing and supporting such a bundle across at least Windows, Linux and Mac systems to cover the platforms that Geronimo developers are using today.

-----------------------------------------------
Seems like a reasonable request to me. Unfortunately, doesn't mean it's a simple request -- seems like it would be a fair amount of work.
I'm not sure what Donald finds so objectionable. License-wise, doesn't seem like there's anything that would prevent it. As you've pointed out, it's been done before...
Is it really 5 installs? I thought it was two -- Ganymede+WTP and GEP. Still twice as much as you'd like. ;-) That said, seems like it's going to be hard to justify the amount of work. Interesting to hear from the GEP crew... Are others interested in the same capability? Anybody interested in contributing to the effort?

-----------------------------------------------
Still say we have more important items to get in GEP before we consider becoming Eclipse repackagers, like:
1) more automation testing (like deployment plan editors, sharedlib, multiple server repos, ...)
2) being able to create custom server assemblies based on deployed app(s)
3) turning a user's war/ear into a plugin
4) automatically determine application dependencies, based on packages and annotations used in the source code
5) automatically upgrade older deployment plans to target server level
6) ensure all of the Geronimo Samples can be imported into Eclipse and published to a server
7) make sure we support servers setup to use secure JMX/RMI introduced in Geronimo 2.1.2
8) support new farm deployer in Geronimo 2.2
9) keep the docs and tutorials updated for every GEP release

-----------------------------------------------
OK, I recant, installing the plugin is easy.
If you know how. I was mislead by the documentation.
The page http://geronimo.apache.org/development-tools.html onto which you are lead by the news box on the Geronimo main page, describes first the really hard ways.
The easy way is way down under Additional Information
-> Geronimo Eclipse Plugin Installation Instructions
The linked page (http://geronimo.apache.org/geronimo-eclipse-plugin-installation-instructions.html) describes the easy way:
Install Geronimo Eclipse Plugin Using WTP
Unfortunately, this page lacks two important points:
a) WTP is Eclipse IDE for Java EE Developers from
http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/
b) The "download additional server adapters" only works if a new remote site pointing to http://www.apache.org/dist/geronimo/eclipse/updates/
was created before. If not, the Geronimo Servers are not found.
So, if the docs are fixed to include setting up the new remote site, installing the Geronimo plugin is almost as easy as installing Directory Studio.
Still easier would only be a complete zip download ...

Jürgen Weber commented on GERONIMODEVTOOLS-511:
-----------------------------------------------
I'd just like to download for each new server version a fitting complete Eclipse-Geronimo package.
Look, Apache Directory Studio gives a choice:
Download the complete package, one tar.gz and you are up and running:
http://directory.apache.org/studio/download/download-linux.html
or do it the slightly harder way and get the Plugin:
http://directory.apache.org/studio/installation-in-eclipse.html
But for Directory Studio it's only one feature whereas for the Geronimo you go the hard way and have to install five in the right versions.
Or, compare see the PHP Development Tools, you can get each required plugin on its own (the Geronimo Plugin way) or PDT All-in-One (my suggested way):
http://download.eclipse.org/tools/pdt/downloads/release.php?release=R20080603
BTW, anybody thought of the name "Geronimo Studio" ?

Donald Woods commented on GERONIMODEVTOOLS-511:
-----------------------------------------------
This JIRA does not make sense. If you're trying to install a 1.0 Server adapter, then you need to install the version of Eclipse that it is supported on first. We have no plans to release any new updates to the 1.x servers or tooling.
Also, I'd have to vote -1 to the request to provide a GEP+Eclipse bundle for any release. We should not be providing custom versions of Eclipse images or providing the Eclipse Java EE bundle from the ASF servers. If there are installation problems with GEP 2.1.x on Eclipse 3.3 or 3.4, then please open a JIRA with workspace logs and exact steps to reproduce it, so we can resolve this once and for all (but I think Eclipse 3.4 is at fault for some problems right now, which hopefully the 3.4.1 release will fix.)

--------------------------------------------
That news item has a bad link. I recently updated the install doc. Tim, can you update that news link, or tell me how to do it?
>From the Geronimo home page, choose the Development Tools sub-project link from the left-hand nav, near the bottom. That page gives pre-reqs and install instructions. I updated the installation page to point back to the pre-req section. I think I will change this again to put the pre-reqs on the install page, as my plan is to have this info together for each release.
I don't think you have to define a geronimo update site in order for "download additional server adapters" to show Geronimo. I don't recall ever having to do this. I verified it with a fresh install of Ganymede.
I will work to improve the doc. Tim also has some interest in this JIRA. He may be distracted by upcoming vacation and GEP 2.1.3 release, but I expect to see his comments here soon...
