Something different : I have 2 "system" scoped dependencies in maven poms.
In fact I have 2 dependencies (for now) that do not exist in Xwiki
nexus repository. So before submitting this to your opinion, I've set
them as system and used them locally, ugly but temporary.
The dependencies are mstor 0.9.13 (a Store provider for Javamail) and
java-libpst (as library to do .pst import), links and versions are
available on the Design page.
Would you mind adding those libs to the xwiki nexus repository ? I
don't think they exist in any maven repository for now (and they are a
bit old and inactive or seems so) ?
Or should I make those features optional, and if the user want them,
ask him to populate his wiki instance with the dedicated .jar files ?
The PST import is more a nice-to-have feature that could be optional.
The Store feature is more important.
Additionally mstor needs 2 other dependencies to "work" (at least ...
the bundle comes with many deps but I needed only 2 to make it work) :
ehcache 1.4.1 and backport-util-concurrent 3.1. I don't really like
adding new libraries in WEB-INF/lib without really knowing the impact
or possible conflicts with existing libs, but I did not find a better
solution for now ... And mstor is the best and easiest I found so far
to achieve my use-case ... (backup/restore loaded emails, reload after
structural migration, ...). JavamailDir creates a file per email
stored, that can be an issue on Linux systems as you can easily reach
inodes nb limitations.
Thanks,
Jeremie
