Hey all:
The source editing component has 5 different repositories. It would be much nicer as one, in terms of building, locating the code, setting up releng, etc. But, the component is quite large.
I'm not sure merging everything into one normal component folder is a good idea: there's 51 plugin bundles, not including tests, features, docs, etc.
In JBossTools (and I believe Dali has a similar structure), we've played around with some large repos having a folder structure as follows:
repo_root:
common:
|- bundles
|- tests
|- features
xpath:
|- bundles
|- tests
|- features
xsl:
|- bundles
|- tests
|- features
Is this a structure that would work for source-editing? Or is one gigantic repo preferable?
To be clear why we're trying to merge repos, I'd like to re-iterate that the eventual goal is to have a minimum number of jobs (common, server, jsdt, sourceediting, jee, webservices, jsf, dali) with a proper dependency heirarchy between the major repos.
So any feedback here would be much appreciated
