Hi Asiri,
Sounds cool.
For a test framework you need to ensure it uses
standard
tools and works on all platforms and with minimal requirements.
Ok, i'll try to find a general DAV client that works on all
platforms (like
DAVExplorer) and put that information in the README.
Is there any other way i can make the webapp deployment easy ? I
mean using
eclipse WTP seems to be too specific as you say. Would a maven goal
be ok ?
Our build system is maven so using maven we must be able to:
* build xwiki
* run functional tests of xwiki
* generate distributions of xwiki
We can have some special setup for Eclipse, IDEA, etc but the minimal
we need is a way to build, run tests and generate distributions using
Maven.
I'm pretty sure Tomcat has webdav support out of the box so for
functional tests we could use Tomcat in the build for example.
Thanks
