------------------------------------
Summary: Eclipse update site build fails without "clean" sometimes
Key: UIMA-3501
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-3501
Project: UIMA
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build, Packaging and Test
Affects Versions: parent-pom-7
Reporter: Marshall Schor
Assignee: Marshall Schor
Priority: Minor
Fix For: parent-pom-8
If you run the eclipse-update-site build 2x, not in -Papache-release mode, it
doesn't clear out the target eclipse-update-site/subsite (on purpose - to avoid
getting the older versions of things, in case you're testing that...).
The step where it runs the Eclipse FeaturesAndBundlesPublisher seems to notice
that older versions of things are in the target repository, with the same
version #s, and it won't update them. But it doesn't report any issues. So if
you forget to do "mvn clean install" and just do "mvn install" it looks like it
makes an updated site, but actually, it doesn't...
Fix this with a silly workaround (because I don't know how else to do it in
Ant): have the FeaturesAndBundlesPublisher write to a temp directory, which is
always erased just before it runs, and then have another ant step copy these
over the older ones.
