Ability to use run-platform with a nbm project
----------------------------------------------
Key: MNBMODULE-54
URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MNBMODULE-54
Project: Maven 2.x Netbeans Module Plugin
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Michel Rasschaert
Assignee: Milos Kleint
Currently to test a nbm project the only solution is to use run-ide. When doing
this the tested module is mixed with all the IDE things (java, etc.).
If the nbm is developed to be included in an nbm-application later on this
would be nice to be able to run it in a basic platform instead of the IDE.
I see several possible implementations :
h4. A. Expect a basic platform application on the filesystem somewhere
This is the simplest solution to implement. The user is expected to have
unzipped somewhere a base Netbeans platform application (which is very easy to
create with Netbeans).
It could be configured with
{{<plaformInstallation>....</platformInstallation>}} and use the branding token
to find the correct executable and configuration file to modify as is done with
run-ide.
The problem with this approach is that the user has to know what
cluster/modules to include in his base platform application (usually only the
plaformX cluster with some modules disabled).
h4. B. Build this basic platform based on the dependencies specified in the pom.
Ideally we would build this basic platform installation based on the
dependencies of the POM but I think this is not trivial at all ...
----
I think I can provide a patch for solution A in a few days if you are
interested.
