What would be the best way to include the Contrib applications in XWiki?
On this topic (sorry if I hijack your thread) I was wondering why don't have dependencies from platform/enterprise to
contrib. We have lots of
third party dependencies, contrib could be considered as such. Moreover,
we're in the process of moving non-core (vertical) extensions out of
platform to contrib. It would be a pity to move something from contrib to
platform and then back to contrib. I have the same issue with the
CKEditor
Integration extension. We want CKEditor as the
default editor, bundled
with
the default distribution, but do we need to move
it to platform? Same for
the Welcome Tour.
I’d personally not like this for the following reasons:
1) I like that the XWiki runtime is all released at
once with all
extensions making it using the same versions and verified to work together.
XWiki runtime has lots of third party dependencies. Bootstrap, Solr,
jQuery, just to name a few. I don't see how having the source code in our
repo (platform) makes a difference at runtime when the
integration/functional tests verify they work together.
2) Support. The XWiki runtime is supported by the
XWiki Core Dev Team.
Extensions in contrib are not supported by the XWiki Core Dev Team.
So the FAQ application you moved out of platform is no longer supported by
the XWiki Core Dev Team? The extension page
http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/FAQ+Application
doesn't reflect this.
In addition xwiki-contrib is very open and anyone can
make modifications
there and quality is thus harder to guarantee.
We defined the xwiki github organization as containing horizontal modules,
ie modules that can be required for any flavor and both CKEditor and the
Tour Application fit the need. By opposition to vertical modules which make
sense only for some use cases (like the Meeting Manager app) and not by
default in XE. We have the option of having flavors in contrib for those if
we want though. For CKEditor it’s not a good thing since we’d like it by
default.
One alternative (which I’m not fond of at all) would be to have ckeditor
as a separate git repo in the xwiki github organization.
