hi devs,
The idea is that in Maven in general you should never embed anything
except for final distribution packages that are not supposed to be
used as dependencies of other maven projects (installers, standalone
packages, etc.). This will also allow us to properly setup
dependencies in xar so that dependency is installed when installing a
xar in Extension Manager without its pages being imported twice.
So I propose the following changes:
* in xar plugin:
** stop embedding dependencies as default behavior
+1
** introduce an optional property for it.
+0
* in XE/XEM have two different xars:
** a normal one with just XE pages and proper dependencies setup
** a "standalone" one which embed all XE dependencies xar (basically
the one we have now)
Not quite sure I like this.
First, we're supposed to be moving documents out of xwiki-enterprise and
into application modules inside the platform, so there shouldn't be any
XE XAR at all, just a list of default dependencies to include in the
standalone database.
Second, if we do push forward the extension manager as the preferred way
of installing XARs, then such a bundle XAR shouldn't be needed at all.
For the standalone distribution the packager plugin could just install
the XE shallow XAR + its dependencies, while for WAR installs users
could just pull it using the extension manager. So, the big fat XAR
shouldn't have any use either.
WDYT ?
Here is my +1
