Hi devs and Thomas,
Just noticed a new commons-repository module.
Could someone explain to me what is this new module and why it's not part of
xwiki-commons-extension, even though it's full of references to "extension"
everywhere in it? (109 occurrences)
Since Extension Manager as an module to install/manage extension in your application and XWiki Repository as a platform to
distribute
has?
is?
extensions are very different technically and are
starting to be
pretty big Marius and me decided to separated them in two different
modules. The main link between them is that Extension Manager has a
handler for this kind of repositories exactly like it has one for
maven repositories (and more later). It makes easier to manage them
separately in UI tests, Jira,etc.
Sorry but I don't really understand what you mean.
Can you give me a use case where someone would use commons-repository alone (without
xwiki-extension)?
I don't understand why it's a problem to have
xwiki-commons-extension/xwiki-commons-extension-repository/ and what it changes for ui
tests, jira, etc
I also see we have xwiki-commons-extension/xwiki-commons-extension-repositories/ what are
those compared to xwiki-commons-repository?
Also xwiki-commons-repository-api is pretty empty… It has a class which is about REST and
which should probably be in a REST module and there's another one which is an
interface with no methods.
I really don't see the point of a separate top module in commons. I'm probably
missing something.
Thanks

Note1: Its
description in pom.xml is pretty vague:
<description>XWiki Commons - Repository</description>
In commons-repository-api it's even worse:
<description>Contains commons stuff to use in a a client or a server
implementation</description>
Note2: On http://commons.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome it's not described
either, nor on e.x.o
I just finished the refactoring on git yesterday...
Thanks
-Vincent
