Vitruv Eclipse Update Sites

Usage

This repository provides two Eclipse update sites for nightly and release artifacts of the Vitruv projects to be installed via the Install new software function within Eclipse.

Nightly: https://vitruv-tools.github.io/updatesite/nightly/aggregated

Release: https://vitruv-tools.github.io/updatesite/release

Purpose

This repository provides different update sites for the Vitruv artifacts. It only holds the deployed data (i.e., the packaged plugins, features etc.) and triggers the build of aggregated update sites (see https://github.com/vitruv-tools/Vitruv-Build-AggregatedUpdateSite) upon deployment of new artifacts. It provides the artifacts via GitHub Pages available at https://vitruv-tools.github.io/updatesite) (with the two update site for nightly and release builds begin child URLs as given at the top).

Structure

The repository is, at the top level, structured along nightly and release artifacts. Below, individual update sites for each of our repositories (such as Vitruv-Change or Vitruv-DSLs) are provided, each in its own subfolder. Nightly artifacts are placed in nightly/${REPOSITORY_SUBFOLDER} with ${REPOSITORY_SUBFOLDER} being a (custom) path to a folder for a repository and release artifacts are placed in release/${REPOSITORY_SUBFOLDER}/${VERSION} with ${REPOSITORY_SUBFOLDER} being a (custom) path to a folder for a repository (the same as for the nightly update site of that repository) and ${VERSION} being the release version. Each Vitruv repository is supposed to deploy its artifacts to an according folder.

Those update sites only contain the artifacts generated from one repository. They do not contain the dependencies of those artifacts. An aggregated update site that is build from the individual update sites and contains all the artifacts of the individual update sites and references to update sites containing the required dependencies is generated by calling the workflow in https://github.com/vitruv-tools/Vitruv-Build-AggregatedUpdateSite and placing the generated artifacts in an aggregated subfolder of nightly and release (currently only the former is implemented). In consequence, the aggregated update can be used to install any Vitruv artifact with all its dependencies.

Artifacts

This repository contains two kinds of artifacts:

1. The update site artifacts structured along nightly and release.
2. A GitHub Actions workflow that executes the workflow in https://github.com/vitruv-tools/Vitruv-Build-AggregatedUpdateSite for generating and deploying an aggregated update site. It is triggered upon pushing commits to the main branch.
