------------------------------------
Summary: better Eclipse plugin version management
Key: UIMA-3534
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/UIMA-3534
Project: UIMA
Issue Type: Brainstorming
Components: Eclipse plugins
Reporter: Marshall Schor
Priority: Minor
Our current Eclipse update site design has one file tree -and under that,
several individual big-project (e.g. uimaj, ruta, etc) subsites, each having an
independent update site just for that project.
The subsites have (today) all the versions of the plugins/features. As time
marches on, the subsites can grow large due to older versions. I think we need
a way to follow the spirit of Apache mirroring, and keep just the current or
active releases on the mirrors, and have a seamless way to access the older
things on the apache archive.
There may be a fairly painless way to do this if we can have each subsite
"link" to the archive site, and let Eclipse do the merging. It would be good
if we could set this up so the normal way of managing this (i.e., you delete
the older releases from the dist.apache.org/ svn, and the disappear from the
mirrors, but are still on the archive site.
