support for Continuum

I probably won't be able to work on it in the coming month or so. Not for the next release but definitely before 1.0. I guess the support should be somewhat generic to allow to plug ant based projects as well. So the IDE module/plugin should not depend on maven/mevenide much or at all.

although i haven't participated in the discussion on the mailing list, ive followed it. i'd gladly collaborate on this. but like milos it may be in something like one month, because my priority right now is to rewrite the maven-pde-plugin to "unmess" eclipse plugin build.

we should wait for the rpc client to be created before doing UI.

cannot start ide integration without CONTINUUM-367 being fixed.

started work on this one, basic listing of projects done, able to refresh state and force rebuild.

Is it fair to assume that this task is still open because "Refresh" and "Add Project..." are not yet enabled (amongst other things)? The Continuum integration is nice - I like that I don't have to manually refresh the status of projects.

ross lamont: yes, i've put the continuum support on hold currently and it's definitely not finished. Adding the various project types is missing, a general refresh strategy as well (it currently refreshes automatically only when you force a rebuild). The XML-RPC interface doesn't allow to access all the fields currently. plus the UI needs some redesign..

Here is a patch for of the continuum plugin. Now the plugin works for the current continuum-1.1-beta-4-SNAPSHOT.

The plugin is now based on the continuum-xmlrpc-client shipped with continuum. The old libs/continuum-rpc project is not used anymore. I added support for project groups and authentication. Fetching the latest build results is supported, too like in the old version.

Thus the plugin should support all features it supported for continuum 1.0.x but for continuum 1.1-beta-x.

Due to a bug in the continuum-1.1-beta-3 release the plugin cannot be used with the latest release. But I tested it with the latest 1.1-beta-4-SNAPSHOT.

To test the plugin, please build continuum on your box before. I didn't add any snapshot repositories to the pom.

Cool, thanks a lot for the patch.

Do I understand it correctly that servers prior to 1.1-beta4-SNAPSHOT will not be supported by the netbeans integration after applying the patch?

It should work with continuum 1.1-beta-2 and beta-1. But it does not work with the 1.0.x versions. Therefore the ProjectsReader would have be to reintegrated again.

I extended the first patch a little.

1. The http client dependency could be removed because I switched to the ContinuumXmlRpc.getBuildOutput() routine.

2. The standard continuum status icons are integrated into the plugin.

reassigning to Laurent.

I refactored the continuum rpc client in order to use the 3.0 xmlrpc client.

I am going to apply Mathias patch and then modify it in order to use the old continuum client for 1.0.x continuum release.

Then we still need the http client dependency for 1.0.x continuum..
