Hi,
I'm about to commit the Application Manager from Thomas Mortagne. He
has partially implemented this idea:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/
view/Design/ApplicationManager
It's composed of 2 modules:
- a plugin
- a set of documents (XAR)
It allows to create applications inside a wiki by creating a page
which acts as an Application Descriptor and which contains definition
of all documents in an application, the version of the application,
etc. It also allows to export an application as a XAR file (a
standard XAR + this Application Descriptor). All in all it has 2-3
pages for managing applications, listing installed applications, etc.
I'm going to do the following:
1) Commit his work in platform/plugins and platform/applications
2) Document it on
xwiki.org in the Applications section of the Code Zone
Later on, I think we could start using it for splitting XE into
separate applications.
Just to let you know. As usual let me know if you think there's a
problem.
Thanks
-Vincent
