Via ${SETTINGS_PATH}/devon/devon.properties it should be possible to configure alternative download Repo URL for software tools.
The Repository should have the following structure:

${DEVON_SOFTWARE_REPOSITORY}/«tool»/«version»/«tool»-«version»-«os».tar.gz

with the following segments:

  • «os» : windows, mac, linux
  • «tool»: java, maven, ...
  • «version»: tool version

Questions to be clarified:

  • What if I only want a specific tool from this repo and let others download from public web URLs?
  • What if I want two versions of the same tool? I have requirements from projects that
  • Should we install the tools centrally with version-number and create symlinks in software?
  • Do we need to distinguish architecture or other aspects as well (e.g. x64 vs. x32)? I assume not as x32 is more or less dead...
  • What if the software repo needs authentication?
  • Do we need a mechanism to find the latest version from the repo?

We also would need to clarify where we could create such a repo inside our company to test the feature. Should ideally be accessible via HTTP(S).
