Development Notes

Testing Release repo with Atom

1. Clone the release repository for Atom package 'X'
2. Navigate to X folder
3. Run npm install and nothing more
4. Run apm link .
5. Either start Atom or Reload Window in Atom

Releasing Atom Extension

Before Atom package is released the RC language server JAR needs to be produced. Open promote-fatjars-to-rc task in Concourse and kick off the build. Once the build completes successfully it'd push the update to properties.json of the Atom extension with the link to the RC language server JAR file to the release git repository

The release process for an STS4 Atom package X is to be done with the contents of the release GitHub repository corresponding to the Atom package. Namely: https://github.com/spring-projects/<X> (Example: atom-bosh -> Release repo: https://github.com/spring-projects/atom-bosh)

1. Clone the release repository for Atom package X
2. Navigate to X folder. Examine package.json. The version in that file is most likely the one to be published. (Verify tags of the release git repo to double-check the version)
3. Lets assume it's version A.B.C to be publsihed. The same version must be in the package.json
4. Execute git tag vA.B.C
5. Execute git push --tags
6. Execute apm publish --tag vA.B.C
