This list of subprojects has been generated by following shell command:

for i in *; do ls $i/nbproject/project.xml >/dev/null 2>/dev/null && echo "<project>$i</project>"; done | sort

Using such a script requires manual and tedious work. Ideally the final solution would not rely on shell script at all.

Alternative A: Ant Task

  • Have an Ant task in nbbuild/antsrc sources to generate all the "cluster project"
  • run it as part of CI to verify the structure is up to date
  • Pros: reusing existing (althrough outdated) freeform project
  • Pros: easier manual customization with existing UI

Alternative B: New project type in apisupport

  • We could also recognize the "cluster directories" as projects without generating anything on disk
  • To do that the apisupport project would provide new project type
  • Pros: no freeform project files on disk
  • Pros: always up to date with list of clusters and modules

Opinions?

I would use nbbuild/cluster.properties not the disk structure. It might highlight inconsistencies. Freeform projects might not be a bad thing as could be useful for other things in future.

a variant of A) could commit the project files but add a tripwire test checking if they still make sense?

Using the build to generate them would break your project group if opened before NB was built.

We have several tripwire tests already which trigger when someone forgets to update something while working on unrelated tasks. (e.g the most recent one checking if an editor hint knows about all javac error keys)

build system job is always enabled, might be a good place for it (

build-system-test:
).

I would use nbbuild/cluster.properties not the disk structure.

since this isn't used by the build at all (project node doesn't even have a build action - which is OK i think) and purely for dev-time convenience I think it is ok/better to add everything which is currently in the folder. Who knows what cluster config the dev is working on atm + you don't have to open everything anyway.

(comment in the file would also help mentioning that this isn't used by the build, only for dev-time convenience)

?? Not sure why that's relevant? The cluster file includes nb.cluster.ide.dir and nb.cluster.ide which already tells you the root folder of this cluster and all the projects that should be listed below. Ideally there is a single source of truth for this stuff.

If the cluster subdivision already maps the folder structure -> awesome. I wasn't sure if everything what has a project is actually in the cluster config. The unit test could simply load the property file and compare it against the project.xmls. But tbh the folder is the source of truth, cluster config is "just" release config and probably doesn't have to show everything what is in the repo.

essentially: we could name the project ide or IDE Cluster, dependent on what it should represent (folder or the cluster config). Either strategy is ok with me.

quickly checked and /platform has 116 projects right now, while nb.cluster.platform has 107 items.

        Properties props = new Properties();
        props.load(new FileInputStream("netbeans/nbbuild/cluster.properties"));
        System.out.println("conf "+ props.getProperty("nb.cluster.platform").split(",").length);
        System.out.println("actual "+Files.list(Path.of("netbeans/platform/"))
                .filter(Files::isDirectory)
                .filter(p -> Files.exists(p.resolve("nbproject/project.xml")))
                .count());

It should map as per #536 and I disagree - the cluster config is the source of truth - miss something and it doesn't build correctly. We did not have cluster folders at donation.

the cluster config is the source of truth

source of truth for the build. The folders (ide, platform) may contain more projects apparently + the proposed nesting-projects here are not used for the build. But as I indicated before I actually don't care that much what we pick as long we document in a comment what those projects actually represent: all projects in that folder or an actual cluster.
