1.1 Release dates and Rollbacking "History storage" patch

by Vincent Massol

Hi, We've just committed the patch for XWIKI-1459 yesterday. However we may need to rollback it. Let me explain the situation: 1) It's a big and dangerous patch 2) The Curriki project is currently building on top of XWiki trunk and they're doing some important release soon. 3) They understand that using XWiki trunk is risky and they're going to branch off xwiki trunk real soon (I heard it's planned for next week) 4) They have some test server and it seems the recent commit broke a few things. No investigations done yet. As a consequence, they're asking us if we could rollback that patch and release 1.1M4 without it so that they can branch at 1.1M4. We can then apply the patch after. The problem is that 1.1M4 was supposed to be our last release with new features and 1.1M5/M6 were supposed to be 1.1RC1/RC2 till the final release planned for the 3rd of September. I don't think we'll be able to release a good 1.1 version if we only have one release for hunting down bug fixes. I also think Curriki is right in that committing such a big change one or 2 days before a release is asking for trouble... Thus I'd like to propose the following: A) We rollback the patch and release 1.1M4 without it B) We shift the final 1.1 release by 15 days - New date: 17th of September. We add one release: 1.1M5 and then 1.1RC1 and 1.1RC2 C) We add this patch in 1.1M5. However we don't generally allow any other important change unless there's a good reason. I.e. we consider 1.1M5 almost like a RC except for this patch WDYT? Thanks -Vincent

Re: [xwiki-dev] XECLIPSE.R.1.0.M1

by Vincent Massol

Hi Tharindu, (I've copied the dev list, please send all dev related information to the list please so that we're all on the same page) See below.

I think you need to provide a simple offline feature which is the ability to: - save pages locally (I recall there's an easy eclipse api for this) - ability to choose what to download from the server: a page, a full space or a full wiki - ability to check if the page isn't more recent on the server on save and if so warn the user and let him decide what to do: overwrite the server version or cancel - ability to refresh one's own copy of saved pages with the server's versions Basically this means everything except the hard part which is the synchronization. Let me know if this is possible but I don't think this is too hard to do and it's important for such a tool I think. Now I haven't reviewed what's left you have to do for 1.1M2 but that needs to be finished as a priority. Let me know if you have any schedule issues with this and we'll try to find a solution. I'll work on the m2 build this coming week to help you.

XEclipse Offline

by Asiri Rathnayake

Hi all, I have a few doubts that might arise when we're implementing off-line operation of XEclipse. 1. Currently, when the user saves a page after editing, no checks are made to ensure that if the same page has been modified by someone else at the same time. But avoiding this is a problem since that would require us to retrieve the page again (to check locks) every-time user tries to save a page. 2. Also, when a page is retrieved for the first time if there are any locks are present, we must convey that information to the user (in the extreme case, we can disallow any attempts to modify a page with any locks in it). 3. How permissions should be conveyed to users ? And how to handle them ? (currently, this is ignored) We can use different icons for all of these situations (for permissions , dirty pages etc.), but that would require a lot of icons (and we're running out of appropriate icons too). Any thoughts ? Thanks. - Asiri

[XWiki V2] Componentizing XWiki with Plexus

by Vincent Massol

Hi, I've committed in the Sandbox a first shot at componentizing XWiki. The idea is to have concrete examples so that: 1) you can all see how it's meant to work 2) to validate we can use Plexus without having a single import on plexus in our components For 2), I can say it's been successful so far. I've grouped all Plexus stuff in the xwiki-plexus module and that's the only place where there are plexus imports. If we want to use another component system we should be able to do the same (provided that other component system is transparent too). Some more information: * Components are described in components.xml files (check them out) * I haven't committed the plexus.xml file that goes in xwiki-platform- web/standard/src/main/webapp/WEB-INF. See attached. There's plenty more to say but it'd be great if you could check this out and ask questions here and we'll go from there. I'm really happy with the result. I think it makes writing components a breeze and I really like the separation of concerns. Let's get all your questions answered and then we can decide how we want to integrate this in a XWiki release. Thanks -Vincent

Hi Sergiu, I think you also need to change the xwiki_start_debug.sh file.

XECLIPSE.R.1.0.M1

by tharindu jayasuriya

Hi all, This is about r.1.0.m1 version of xeclipse (XWiki-Eclipse-Plugin). We have completed following tasks in this release, 1. Cleaned up source code ( need to be confirmed by Vincent ) 2. Implemented adding/deleting pages. - Adding pages does not seem to work correctly due to some errors in XML-RPC implementation of XWiki, need to look into this. - Removing pages does not work at all because the corresponding XML-RPC is not implemented in XWiki. 3. Implemented adding/deleting spaces. - Adding spaces work fine. - Deleting spaces does not work (RPC not implemented in XWiki) As it's obvious by now, we need to peek into XWiki internals to get these issues fixed. But since we have a scheduled release today (and these issues showed up all of a sudden), we thought of finishing the work from the plugin's end and uploading the relevant work. Anyway, those issues need to be fixed asap. We have tested the work on a stand alone (HSQLDB) Xwiki installation, it would be really nice if someone can test the plugin on a real server and confirm the results :) Vincent, I couldn't find an appropriate place to upload the files in XWIKI JIRA, so i thought of attaching relevant files into this email. I'm really sorry for any inconveniences. Hope to hear from you very soon. Thanks a lot! - Tharindu & Asiri
