Hi Azeez,
Yeah, this is a major design decision of the new Carbon feature plugin. We
had few design meetings for this plugin, there we finalized the
configuration based on some of the following points.
1) Adopted a Maven dependency-like configuration for features and bundles
instead of the strings and colon(:) configuration. I believe having a
proper/valid XML structure is much better than the previous configuration.
Because,
- It's clean.
- Configuration can be validated with a schema.
- You get the same maven experience.
e.g.
*<bundleDef>javax.ws.rs:javax.ws.rs-api</bundleDef>*
vs
*<bundle>*
* <symbolicName>javax.ws.rs-api</symbolicName>*
* <version>${rs-api.version}</version>*
*</bundle>*
2) Refactored maven goals we had in the previous plugin and came up with
easy to understand, self-explanatory set of Maven goal names.
- *generate*
- maven goal for generate carbon features (formerly known as
p2-feature-gen)
-
*generate-repo *
- maven goal for generate repositories (formerly known as p2-repo-gen)
- *install*
- maven goal for install features into a product (formerly known as
p2-profile-gen)
- *uninstall*
- maven goal for uninstalling features
-
*generate-profile *
- maven goal for generate profiles (formerly known as
materialize-product)
- *publish-product*
- maven goal for publishing a product
Thanks,
Sameera.
