Why do we deploy TP zips to Nexus snapshots repo?

XMLWordPrintable

      Currently, we deploy our TP update sites to the JBoss Nexus snapshots repo.

      But other than Locus and the Browsersim Standalone zip, we don't ever use these artifacts, so they just:

      • eat disk space in Nexus
      • consume time/resources in Jenkins

      So, why don't we set a custome deployment strategy (eg., akin to maven.deploy.skip=true) in the jbosstools-targetplatform & jbosstools-discovery root pom to prevent this waste of time/space? Then we can just deploy the .target files, not the zips.

      This would certainly speed up builds, which currently take 30-60 mins per TP build.
