Consider making pre-built .jar available
Is there an easy alternative to building dash-licenses from sources? I'd like to have it run as part of our project's CI, and would rather not have to build it each time. It would be great if instead we could use e.g. wget or curl to fetch the latest version from some official location.
The build does push the bits to our Nexus instance.
curl -L "https://repo.eclipse.org/service/local/artifact/maven/redirect?r=dash-licenses&g=org.eclipse.dash&a=org.eclipse.dash.licenses&v=LATEST" -o license.jar
But... we should probably still push it to download.eclipse.org. And it's probably time to do an actual release. So I'll leave this open for now.
I think it's then mostly a matter of documenting where to get the jar to consider this issue as fixed. #123 covers that.
@mickaelistria this issue is about procuring an already build .jar, e.g. to use dash-licenses in CI, without building it ourselves. I do not think #123 currently covers that use-case.
We are using Wayne's suggested URL above, to fetch a prebuilt dash-license jar, during Theia's CI, and it works well enough, so it's not pressing for us to get an official release.
There is already such a jar available for download. #123 puts the link in the doc.
I do not think #123 currently covers that use-case.
Sorry @mickaelistria, I had missed part of your patch - the documentation is satisfactory. For my part, I do not need more at the moment. When there eventually is an official releases, we'll switch to using that instead. I do not object to closing this issue.
