Hi,
Note: This email supercedes all my other proposals on the SVN
directory structure.
The rationale for this mail is that we're starting to have lots of
applications built on top of the xwiki platform: XWiki Enterprise
(default wiki), XEM, Watch, Curriki, Chronopolys, etc. We need to
accomodate them in our directory structure.
Top level structure
===============
/svnroot/xwiki/
|_ xwiki-platform/
|_ xwiki-applications/
|_ xwiki-enterprise/
|_ xwiki-enterprise-manager/
|_ xwiki-watch/
|_ curriki/
|_ chronopolys/
|_ xwiki-extensions/
|_ xwiki-eclipse/
|_ xwiki-concerto/
|_ sandbox/
where:
* xwiki-platform is the xwiki platform on which all the applications
are built.
* xwiki-applications are applications that extend the platform with:
skins, xwiki pages (XAR), plugins
* xwiki-enterprise is the name of our previously known "default wiki"
application.
* xwiki-extensions are any other extensions of xwiki not fitting in
xwiki-applications. For example the XWiki Eclipse integration, etc.
I've put concerto there but I'm not sure what it'll look like.
Definition of xwiki-platform
=====================
/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-platform/
|_ tools/
|_ core/ (JAR)
|_ plugins/ (JARs)
|_ skins/ (ZIPs)
|_ dodo/
|_ finch/
|_ albatross/
|_ web/ (WARs)
|_ gwt/
|_ standard/
|_ xarlets (XARs)
|_ selenium/
|_ blog/
|_ calendar/
|_ ...
where:
* tools/ contains tools used to build the platform and xwiki
applications
* xarlets/ contains independent xwiki apps (we need a word better
than xarlets and different than applications which we should reserve
for things like curriki, xwiki enterprise, xem, etc) that can be
installed in any running xwiki app
* In the future core/ will be replaced with:
|_ components/ (JARs)
|_ xwiki-model/
|_ xwiki-storage/
|_ ...
* In the future web/ will be replaced with UI components (see the UI
proposal for more)
Definition of xwiki-enterprise/
=======================
/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-applications/xwiki-enterprise/
|_ wiki/
|_ distribution/
|_ distribution-test/
where:
* wiki/ contains the xar pages
Generic definition of an xwiki-application/
=================================
/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-applications/<app name>/
|_ wiki/
|_ web/ (optional)
|_ plugins/ (optional)
|_ skin/ (optional)
|_ distribution/
|_ distribution-test/
For example for xwiki-watch/:
/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-applications/xwiki-watch/
|_ wiki/
|_ web/ (the gwt stuff)
|_ distribution/
|_ distribution-test/
I think this pretty much includes everything we currently have in SVN.
WDYT?
Thanks

Hi Vincent,
Sounds good to update the SVN structure for addressing the growing
complexity :-)
Here are below some questions and suggestions.

|_ calendar/
|_ ...
where:
* tools/ contains tools used to build the platform and xwiki applications
If they are used both by the platform and the applications, shouldn't we
put the "tools" folder at the root level (/svnroot/xwiki/tools/)?
Regarding the xarlets: why should they be considered as part of the
platform? They build upon the platform, but they are rather extensions
of the platform than part of it, aren't they?
I have also this question: should we really distinguish in the structure
between the concepts of plugins, xarlets and xwiki-applications? They
have a different nature indeed, but won't splitting them into different
folders make the life of developers more complex? If I write a
BlogTrackBackPlugin that does some specific stuff with blogs, where will
I put it in the repository? It should probably go to the "blog xarlet",
which then contains xwiki-documents + Java classes. Isn't it likely that
our xarlets, or at least some of them will evolve to full-fledged
"applications" that will use all the XWiki concepts? Along the same
lines, won't we have plugins that will have their xwiki-documents?
If this happens, we can of course let the xarlet become an application
and move it in the repository, but we may then consider putting plugins
and xarlets in the xwiki-application folder, and distinguish between the
following concepts not at the repository structure level but only at the
deployment API and configuration levels:
1) application that contains only documents ("xarlet"): can be installed
on any xwiki instance
2) application that contains plugins and possibly other Java classes,
and possibly some xwiki documents (could be dubbed "xwiki application",
"xwiki plugin" or "xwiki extension"?): can be installed on any xwiki
instance, but it requires a restart of the application server
3) application that contains Java classes, xwiki documents and other
contents: need specific deployment. -> "xwiki product"?.
What do you think?
Regarding the extensions you mention: I don't understand why we wouldn't
consider xwiki-eclipse as part of the platform: how is it different from
the /xwiki-platform/web/gwt?
Here 's a modified tree to summarize my suggestions:

where:

as part of the
platform? They build upon the platform, but they are rather extensions
of the platform than part of it, aren't they?
They are reusable xarlets and as such, like plugins or component
jars, they can be reused by the xwiki applications.
Maybe our differences of view is that you view the platform as only
JARs whereas I view the platform as providing all the pieces required
by applications to be built upon (build tools, components, UI pieces,
etc). Application are end products for me.
I have also this question: should we really
distinguish in the
structure
between the concepts of plugins, xarlets and xwiki-applications?
They are different right now. In the future, hopefully everything
will be a component.
They
have a different nature indeed, but won't splitting them into

BlogTrackBackPlugin that does some specific stuff with blogs, where

"applications" that will use all the XWiki concepts? Along the same
lines, won't we have plugins that will have their xwiki-documents?
Stephane I think you're jumping ahead about 6 months to 1 year... ;)
This is indeed what we want but we're far from there and the
structure I'm proposing is for now with the ability to evolve to
something else in the future. Right now it means these blogging
features will be split between xwiki-platform/plugins/blog and xwiki-
platform/xarlets/blog.
Regarding the evolution, 2 possibilities:
- the blogging features are components meant to be reused by
applications. In this case they can go in the platform which will
then offer blogging features for applications
- the blogging features are not meant to be reusable and embedded in
xwiki applications. They form a standalone blogging application and
should be located in xwiki-applications.
If I follow your direction, then everything is potentially an
application and the platform becomes the core. I'm viewing the
platform as core + reusable components and I differentiate between
reusable components and end applications (products if you prefer). I
wouldn't mind:
xwiki/
|_ xwiki-core/
|_ xwiki-components/ (or whatever you want to call it)
|_ xwiki-applications/
But my preference currently goes to what I proposed:
xwiki/
|_ xwiki-platform/
|_ xwiki-core/
|_ xwiki-components/
|_ xwiki-applications
If this happens, we can of course let the xarlet
become an application
and move it in the repository, but we may then consider putting

"xwiki plugin" or "xwiki extension"?): can be installed on any xwiki
instance, but it requires a restart of the application server
3) application that contains Java classes, xwiki documents and other
contents: need specific deployment. -> "xwiki product"?.
What do you think?
I've put 1) in xwiki-platform/ and 3) in xwiki-applications/. For 2),
my proposal also puts them in 1) as they are reusable pieces.
Regarding the extensions you mention: I don't
understand why we
wouldn't
consider xwiki-eclipse as part of the platform: how is it different
from
the /xwiki-platform/web/gwt?
web/gwt is offering an API for developing applications. The IDE
extension is a client/application using the XWiki API. It's not like
we're offering an Eclipse API for people to build Eclipse
applications that interact with XWiki.
Here 's a modified tree to summarize my
suggestions:
xwiki-platform
==============
/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-platform/
|_ core for now
|_ xwiki-model, xwiki-storage etc. in the future
|_ webapp
|_ gwt
|_ standard
|_ xwiki-platform-ui (the components below may be moved to the
component level in the future, i.e. would be at the same level as
xwiki-model etc.)
|_ eclipse-ui
|_ flex-ui
|_ xul-ui
|_ web-ui-standard
|_ templates
|_ skins
|_ gwt
Re the UIs I'm fine but I think we should wait till we have more UIs
before creating a deep structure. For now we only have web UIs which
is why I put the web/ directory.
|_ plugins: only the platform core plugins: image,
packaging,
fileupload, zipexplorer, but not: flickr, graphviz, ...
Where would you put the flickr/ and graphviz/ plugins? I'd still put
them in xwiki-platform as they are reusable for xwiki-applications.
xwiki-applications
==================
/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-applications/
|_ xwiki-blog
|_ wiki
xwiki-blog is not an application. It's not runnable. It's a component
that can be integrated into an application.
For me the definition of an Application is:
* A set of plugins
* A set of components (JARs)
* A set web pages (velocity templates, etc)
* A set of xwiki documents in a database
* All this inside a configured container
* An application distribution is a zip/exe/tar.gz
I'd agree with xwiki-blog as an application if we were delivering a
standalone blogging application but that's not the purpose of the
blog xarlet (it's meant to be used as a component by xwiki
applications) as it exists as we're not making a product out of it
(at least no yet).
|_ xwiki-calendar
|_ plugins/
|_ com.xpn.xwiki.plugins.CalendarPlugin
|_ wiki/
Same as for the blog.
|_ xwiki-enterprise-manager
|_ wiki
|_ web
|_ distribution
|_ xwiki-watch

New subject: [xwiki-dev] [Proposal] New SVN directory structure to accommodate the different applications we have
I'm a bit tired right now, so I can't decide which one makes more
sense. However, I have my own questions :)
1) How about the decision to move skins in a distinct place?
2) Where in the structure are the trunk/branches/tags defined?
3) Why are the xarlets inside the platform?
I'll be back with more when I'll be awake.

hehe :)
1) How about the decision to move skins in a distinct
place?
They are there in xwiki-platform/skins.
2) Where in the structure are the trunk/branches/tags
defined?
3) Why are the xarlets inside the platform?
I think this is the most controversial issue as Stephane raised a
similar issue. See my answer there.
To summarize, in my proposal:
* platform = reusable bits
* platform != core
* platform = core + other reusable bits
That said, core isn't materialized in my initial proposal. For
example in plugins/ there are plugins that will be included in the
core and other plugins that won't be but which can be included by
applications for their distribution/needs. I'm not sure if we need to
materialized core but possibly.
I'll be back with more when I'll be awake.
cool
Thanks

Sounds good to update the SVN structure for addressing the growing

Definition of xwiki-platform
=====================
/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-platform/
|_ tools/
|_ core/ (JAR)
|_ plugins/ (JARs)
|_ skins/ (ZIPs)
|_ dodo/
|_ finch/
|_ albatross/
|_ web/ (WARs)
|_ gwt/
|_ standard/
|_ xarlets (XARs)
|_ selenium/
|_ blog/
|_ calendar/
|_ ...
where:
* tools/ contains tools used to build the platform and xwiki
applications
If they are used both by the platform and the applications,
shouldn't we
put the "tools" folder at the root level (/svnroot/xwiki/tools/)? Regarding the xarlets: why should they be
considered as part of the
platform? They build upon the platform, but they are rather
extensions
of the platform than part of it, aren't they?
They are reusable xarlets and as such, like plugins or component
jars, they can be reused by the xwiki applications.
Maybe our differences of view is that you view the platform as only
JARs whereas I view the platform as providing all the pieces required
by applications to be built upon (build tools, components, UI pieces,
etc). Application are end products for me.
I have also this question: should we really
distinguish in the
structure
between the concepts of plugins, xarlets and xwiki-applications?
They are different right now. In the future, hopefully everything
will be a component.
They
have a different nature indeed, but won't splitting them into
different
folders make the life of developers more complex? If I write a
BlogTrackBackPlugin that does some specific stuff with blogs, where
will
I put it in the repository? It should probably go to the "blog
xarlet",
which then contains xwiki-documents + Java classes. Isn't it likely
that
our xarlets, or at least some of them will evolve to full-fledged
"applications" that will use all the XWiki concepts? Along the same
lines, won't we have plugins that will have their xwiki-documents?
Stephane I think you're jumping ahead about 6 months to 1 year... ;)
This is indeed what we want but we're far from there and the
structure I'm proposing is for now with the ability to evolve to
something else in the future. Right now it means these blogging
features will be split between xwiki-platform/plugins/blog and xwiki-
platform/xarlets/blog.
Regarding the evolution, 2 possibilities:
- the blogging features are components meant to be reused by
applications. In this case they can go in the platform which will
then offer blogging features for applications
- the blogging features are not meant to be reusable and embedded in
xwiki applications. They form a standalone blogging application and
should be located in xwiki-applications.
If I follow your direction, then everything is potentially an
application and the platform becomes the core. I'm viewing the
platform as core + reusable components and I differentiate between
reusable components and end applications (products if you prefer). I
wouldn't mind:
xwiki/
|_ xwiki-core/
|_ xwiki-components/ (or whatever you want to call it)
|_ xwiki-applications/
But my preference currently goes to what I proposed:
xwiki/
|_ xwiki-platform/
|_ xwiki-core/
|_ xwiki-components/
|_ xwiki-applications
If this happens, we can of course let the xarlet
become an
application
and move it in the repository, but we may then
consider putting
plugins
and xarlets in the xwiki-application folder, and distinguish
between the
following concepts not at the repository structure level but only
at the
deployment API and configuration levels:
1) application that contains only documents ("xarlet"): can be
installed
on any xwiki instance
2) application that contains plugins and possibly other Java
classes,
and possibly some xwiki documents (could be
dubbed "xwiki
application",
"xwiki plugin" or "xwiki extension"?): can be installed on any
xwiki
instance, but it requires a restart of the
application server
3) application that contains Java classes, xwiki documents and
other
contents: need specific deployment. ->
"xwiki product"?.
What do you think?
I've put 1) in xwiki-platform/ and 3) in xwiki-applications/. For 2),
my proposal also puts them in 1) as they are reusable pieces.
Regarding the extensions you mention: I don't
understand why we
wouldn't
consider xwiki-eclipse as part of the platform: how is it different
from
the /xwiki-platform/web/gwt?
web/gwt is offering an API for developing applications. The IDE
extension is a client/application using the XWiki API. It's not like
we're offering an Eclipse API for people to build Eclipse
applications that interact with XWiki.
Here 's a modified tree to summarize my
suggestions:
xwiki-platform
==============
/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-platform/
|_ core for now
|_ xwiki-model, xwiki-storage etc. in the future
|_ webapp
|_ gwt
|_ standard
|_ xwiki-platform-ui (the components below may be moved to the
component level in the future, i.e. would be at the same level as
xwiki-model etc.)
|_ eclipse-ui
|_ flex-ui
|_ xul-ui
|_ web-ui-standard
|_ templates
|_ skins
|_ gwt
Re the UIs I'm fine but I think we should wait till we have more UIs
before creating a deep structure. For now we only have web UIs which
is why I put the web/ directory.
|_ plugins: only the platform core plugins:
image, packaging,
fileupload, zipexplorer, but not: flickr, graphviz, ...
Where would you put the flickr/ and graphviz/ plugins? I'd still put
them in xwiki-platform as they are reusable for xwiki-applications.
xwiki-applications
==================
/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-applications/
|_ xwiki-blog
|_ wiki
xwiki-blog is not an application. It's not runnable. It's a component
that can be integrated into an application.
For me the definition of an Application is:
* A set of plugins
* A set of components (JARs)
* A set web pages (velocity templates, etc)
* A set of xwiki documents in a database
* All this inside a configured container
* An application distribution is a zip/exe/tar.gz
I'd agree with xwiki-blog as an application if we were delivering a
standalone blogging application but that's not the purpose of the
blog xarlet (it's meant to be used as a component by xwiki
applications) as it exists as we're not making a product out of it
(at least no yet).
|_ xwiki-calendar
|_ plugins/
|_ com.xpn.xwiki.plugins.CalendarPlugin
|_ wiki/
Same as for the blog.
|_ xwiki-enterprise-manager
|_ wiki
|_ web
|_ distribution
|_ xwiki-watch
|_ xwiki-concerto

Yes, or it might make more sense to have trunk/branches/tags for
xwiki-platform to be at a level higher than core/plugins/skins/... so
that one can checkout the trunk of xwiki-platform and get the whole
tree that is required (which would probably be how each of the
applications are structured underneath the trunk/tags/branches for
each of them).

With the svn:externals you can get everything at once.
The real question is how we want to release these and the reason for
trunk/branches/tags at the level beneath xwiki-platform is to allow
release each of them independently.
For example it should be possible to release only a given skin
without releasing the rest. This would still be possible with your

BTW the whole platform isn't required to build XWiki Enterprise for

Note: This email supercedes all my other proposals on the SVN

The rationale for this mail is that we're starting to have lots of
applications built on top of the xwiki platform: XWiki Enterprise
(default wiki), XEM, Watch, Curriki, Chronopolys, etc. We need to
accomodate them in our directory structure.
Top level structure

are built.
* xwiki-applications are applications that extend the platform with:
skins, xwiki pages (XAR), plugins
* xwiki-enterprise is the name of our previously known "default wiki"
application.
* xwiki-extensions are any other extensions of xwiki not fitting in

components and end applications (products if you prefer). I wouldn't mind:
xwiki/
|_ xwiki-core/
|_ xwiki-components/ (or whatever you want to call it)
|_ xwiki-applications/
But my preference currently goes to what I proposed:
xwiki/
|_ xwiki-platform/
|_ xwiki-core/
|_ xwiki-components/
|_ xwiki-applications
fine with me for that one for now then (with probably xwiki-core as a
component among others in the future then if I understand correctly).
If this
happens, we can of course let the xarlet become an application
and move it in the repository, but we may then consider putting plugins
and xarlets in the xwiki-application folder, and distinguish between the
following concepts not at the repository structure level but only at the
deployment API and configuration levels:
1) application that contains only documents ("xarlet"): can be installed
on any xwiki instance
2) application that contains plugins and possibly other Java classes,
and possibly some xwiki documents (could be dubbed "xwiki application",
"xwiki plugin" or "xwiki extension"?): can be installed on any xwiki
instance, but it requires a restart of the application server
3) application that contains Java classes, xwiki documents and other
contents: need specific deployment. -> "xwiki product"?.
What do you think?
I've put 1) in xwiki-platform/ and 3) in xwiki-applications/. For 2), my
proposal also puts them in 1) as they are reusable pieces. Regarding the
extensions you mention: I don't understand why we wouldn't
consider xwiki-eclipse as part of the platform: how is it different from
the /xwiki-platform/web/gwt?
web/gwt is offering an API for developing applications. The IDE
extension is a client/application using the XWiki API. It's not like
we're offering an Eclipse API for people to build Eclipse applications
that interact with XWiki. Here 's a
modified tree to summarize my suggestions:
xwiki-platform
==============
/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-platform/
|_ core for now
|_ xwiki-model, xwiki-storage etc. in the future
|_ webapp
|_ gwt
|_ standard
|_ xwiki-platform-ui (the components below may be moved to the
component level in the future, i.e. would be at the same level as
xwiki-model etc.)
|_ eclipse-ui
|_ flex-ui
|_ xul-ui
|_ web-ui-standard
|_ templates
|_ skins
|_ gwt
Re the UIs I'm fine but I think we should wait till we have more UIs
before creating a deep structure. For now we only have web UIs which is
why I put the web/ directory.
|_ plugins: only the platform core plugins:
image, packaging,
fileupload, zipexplorer, but not: flickr, graphviz, ...
Where would you put the flickr/ and graphviz/ plugins? I'd still put
them in xwiki-platform as they are reusable for xwiki-applications.
xwiki-applications
==================
/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-applications/
|_ xwiki-blog
|_ wiki
xwiki-blog is not an application. It's not runnable. It's a component
that can be integrated into an application.
For me the definition of an Application is:
* A set of plugins
* A set of components (JARs)
* A set web pages (velocity templates, etc)
* A set of xwiki documents in a database
* All this inside a configured container
* An application distribution is a zip/exe/tar.gz
I'd agree with xwiki-blog as an application if we were delivering a
standalone blogging application but that's not the purpose of the blog
xarlet (it's meant to be used as a component by xwiki applications) as
it exists as we're not making a product out of it (at least no yet). |_
xwiki-calendar
|_ plugins/
|_ com.xpn.xwiki.plugins.CalendarPlugin
|_ wiki/
Same as for the blog.
|_ xwiki-enterprise-manager
|_ wiki
|_ web
|_ distribution
|_ xwiki-watch
|_ xwiki-concerto

New subject: [xwiki-dev] [Proposal] New SVN directory structure to accommodate the different applications we have
I'm giving an overall +1 to Vincent's proposal except for the xarlets.
I feed that having the xarlets in the platform will either make us end
up with small applications in the platform, or have us mix small and big
apps in xwiki-applications.
I think we need xarlets outside but not in xwiki-applications.
So
1/ I agree with stephane xarlets should not be in the platform
2/ I agree with vincent that applications should be "big packages" like
watch, curriki, chrono, xem.. It does not means they have to have java
plugins but it means they deserve the "product" or "application"
name..
So maybe
xwiki-xarlets (small XWiki applications)
xwiki-products (product level XWiki applications)

xwiki components would be able to package both xwiki pages and Java

provide only code, UIs, or both. This means that all the code and UIs
that make the default wiki will be scattered into various components.

New subject: [xwiki-dev] [Proposal] New SVN directory structure to accommodate the different applications we have
I don't agree that much about the parallel between plugins and xarlets..
The process of working with plugins and xarlets is in my view quite
different..
Most use cases will want the most important plugins already installed
but have the ability to activate/deactivate. The reason is that
applications will often base themselves on these plugins and we want
them as easy to install as possible.
Concerning xarlets they can be installed on top of the core XWiki.. so
for me it's much easier to consider them out of the platform.
But in the end I think it shows that there are
- core components
- external components
Core compenents (plugins or xar, but most often plugins) are stuff that
you need to build upon.
External components (plugins or xar or gwt apps, but mostly xar or gwt
apps) are stuff that are mostly used by itself, by the app you build
So I think we can discuss a lot about that organisation because in the
end both organisations are right..
However what I see in your current proposal is that we don't have a
repository for small external components.. we only have the "big
application" component..
I don't think it's that good to put stuff like the "Packager" app or the
"Document Template" app or the "FAQ" app in the core.. neither I think
it's good to put it in the "big application" repository.
I don't think this is true for plugins which you prefer to have in the
core so that they are ready to use on any recent XWiki install.

New subject: [xwiki-dev] [Proposal] New SVN directory structure to accommodate the different applications we have

The process of working with plugins and xarlets is in my view quite
different..
Most use cases will want the most important plugins already
installed but have the ability to activate/deactivate. The reason
is that applications will often base themselves on these plugins
and we want them as easy to install as possible.
Concerning xarlets they can be installed on top of the core XWiki..
so for me it's much easier to consider them out of the platform.
But in the end I think it shows that there are
- core components
- external components
Core compenents (plugins or xar, but most often plugins) are stuff
that you need to build upon.
External components (plugins or xar or gwt apps, but mostly xar or
gwt apps) are stuff that are mostly used by itself, by the app you
build
So I think we can discuss a lot about that organisation because in
the end both organisations are right..
However what I see in your current proposal is that we don't have a
repository for small external components.. we only have the "big
application" component..
In my proposal we have:
XWiki = Platform + Applications
where
Platform = Core (i.e. components + others) + Reusable components
(what you call external components I think)
What you want (I think) is:
XWiki = Core + External Components + Applications
meaning you'd like to remove the notion of Platform and instead show
Core at the top level:
xwiki/
|_ core/
|_ components/
|_ applications/
Personally I don't mind that much although I liked the dichotomy
Platform/Applications which was simple enough to explain I think.
For me Platform = any bit than can reused as is in an Application.
I don't think it's that good to put stuff like
the "Packager" app
or the "Document Template" app or the "FAQ" app in the core..
I wouldn't put it in the Core. But I would put it in the Platform.
neither I think it's good to put it in the
"big application"
repository.
Right.
I don't think this is true for plugins which you
prefer to have in
the core so that they are ready to use on any recent XWiki install.
Same applies to plugins. There are some that are Core plugins and
there are some that reusable plugins that can bundled in applications
but not needed in the core.
In order to close this proposal, I'd like to know what others think
about this remaining issue between Ludovic's vision and mine. I have
the feeling the issue is more a terminology issue than anything else
though.
Thanks

I'm giving an overall +1 to Vincent's proposal except for the
xarlets.
I feed that having the xarlets in the platform will either make
us end up with small applications in the platform, or have us mix
small and big apps in xwiki-applications.
I think we need xarlets outside but not in xwiki-applications.
So
1/ I agree with stephane xarlets should not be in the platform
2/ I agree with vincent that applications should be "big
packages" like watch, curriki, chrono, xem.. It does not means
they have to have java plugins but it means they deserve the
"product" or "application" name..
So maybe
xwiki-xarlets (small XWiki applications)
xwiki-products (product level XWiki applications)
The problem is that if you follow that logic you should also move
xwiki plugins out of the platform as plugins are reusable code in
the same manner xarlets are reusable UIs. Also, in the near future
a xwiki components would be able to package both xwiki pages and
Java code in a JAR so the distinctions between xarlets and plugins
will be blurred and they'll simply be components. A component will
be able to provide only code, UIs, or both. This means that all
the code and UIs that make the default wiki will be scattered into
various components.
So if we follow your logic that xarlets (and thus components) do
not belong to the platform (and I think they do) then we end up
with what I mentioned in my reply to Stephane:
xwiki/
|_ xwiki-core/
|_ xwiki-components/ (or whatever you want to call it)
|_ xwiki-applications/
But my preference currently goes to:
xwiki/
|_ xwiki-platform/
|_ xwiki-core/
|_ xwiki-components/
|_ xwiki-applications
i.e. platform = core + reusable components (where core will become
in the future a set of components itself and core will simply be a
list of components that go together, i.e. a packaging)
WDYT?
Thanks

Any other feedback on this?
* So far we have Stephane and Sergiu who have answered.
* Sergiu said he was ok with the structure I proposed
* Stephane didn't quite agree and proposed something else to
which I replied (no new answer from Stephane yet ;)).
We need to make way to XEM and Watch so I'd like to start
implementing this ASAP. Please comment if you agree or don't
agree as it'll be too late once I start the work :)
Thanks

New subject: [xwiki-dev] [Proposal] New SVN directory structure to accommodate the different applications we have
OK, I talked to Ludovic on skype and he's agreed to the directory
structure I proposed. In any case, we can always modify things
(actually I'm pretty sure the final structure will not be exactly
like the one I proposed as we'll find some gotchas along the way...).
I'm thus ready to start implementing it.
I'd like to start it ASAP (right now would even be my choice). It
means that during 2-3 days the build won't work and it'll be a bit of
chaos during that time.
Everyone ok with that?
Note: I'd rather do it now because we're still early in the 1.1M3
release and it's safer to do it now rather than later...
Thanks

The rationale for this mail is that we're starting to have lots of

ok for everyone?
How about tags and branches for what's outside the platform?

I'd like to suggest 2 modifications:
1) Rename xwiki-applications into xwiki-products

Hi,

The rationale for this mail is that we're starting to have lots of
applications built on top of the xwiki platform: XWiki Enterprise

accomodate them in our directory structure.

where:
* xwiki-platform is the xwiki platform on which all the
applications are built.
* xwiki-applications are applications that extend the platform
with: skins, xwiki pages (XAR), plugins
* xwiki-enterprise is the name of our previously known "default
wiki" application.
* xwiki-extensions are any other extensions of xwiki not fitting in
xwiki-applications. For example the XWiki Eclipse integration, etc.
I've put concerto there but I'm not sure what it'll look like.

Btw, I think there was a discussion on the term xar, and I think we
agreed that it is not a good name, since it conflicts with another
archive format.

Exactly which is why I'm suggesting a directory name that doesn't
have "xar" in the name... ;)

New subject: [xwiki-dev] [Proposal] New SVN directory structure to accommodate the different applications we have
Hi everyone,
Here's the current status:
* The m2 build works for everything except watch which isn't finished
yet.
* I haven't put back the Ant build as it's more work to maintain 2
builds and I think the m2 build is good enough not to require the Ant
build.
Thus you can start doing some check outs and commits again. Please
let me know of any issue you find and I'll fix it.
Improvements yet to come:
* Add support for build numbering for having the SVN rev in
version.properties (this is supposed through the buildnumber plugin
in m2)
* Finish the Watch build and add support for GWT compiler in the
build (using the m2 gwt plugin)
* Find out to automate generation of NSIS executables.
* Move some of the old unit tests previously in xwiki/tests in the
new dir structure and as unit tests done in isolation
* Add a distribution module for the XEM build (and a distribution-
test module for functional tests)
* Update the building doc on xwiki.org to reflect the latest changes
* Possibly add more svn:externals definitions if users/devs find that
the main one is too all-encompassing
* Find ways and documents them to do in place web development easily
with the new structure
Thanks

New subject: [xwiki-dev] [Proposal] New SVN directory structure to accommodate the different applications we have
I discovered a Maven2 bug yesterday which makes our build fail if you
try it (it fails to download the XAR handler JAR). To fix this you
need to create a ~/.m2/settings.xml file with the following inside:
<settings>
<profiles>
<profile>
<id>xwiki</id>
<repositories>
<repository>

This simply tells maven to add the xwiki remote repo to the list of
repo it looks in when looking for an artifact that it doesn't find in
your local repo.
I'll document this. Even better, the m2 dev team has fixed it I think
so I'll try to bundle a new snapshot that contains the fix but
that'll take a bit of time so for now you're safe with the
settings.xml thing.
Thanks

wws Hi,
Note: This email supercedes all my other proposals on the SVN
directory structure.
The rationale for this mail is that we're starting to have lots
of applications built on top of the xwiki platform: XWiki
Enterprise (default wiki), XEM, Watch, Curriki, Chronopolys, etc.
We need to accomodate them in our directory structure.
Top level structure
===============
/svnroot/xwiki/
|_ xwiki-platform/
|_ xwiki-applications/
|_ xwiki-enterprise/
|_ xwiki-enterprise-manager/
|_ xwiki-watch/
|_ curriki/
|_ chronopolys/
|_ xwiki-extensions/
|_ xwiki-eclipse/
|_ xwiki-concerto/
|_ sandbox/
where:
* xwiki-platform is the xwiki platform on which all the
applications are built.
* xwiki-applications are applications that extend the platform
with: skins, xwiki pages (XAR), plugins
* xwiki-enterprise is the name of our previously known "default
wiki" application.
* xwiki-extensions are any other extensions of xwiki not fitting
in xwiki-applications. For example the XWiki Eclipse integration,
etc. I've put concerto there but I'm not sure what it'll look like.
Definition of xwiki-platform
=====================
/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-platform/
|_ tools/
|_ core/ (JAR)
|_ plugins/ (JARs)
|_ skins/ (ZIPs)
|_ dodo/
|_ finch/
|_ albatross/
|_ web/ (WARs)
|_ gwt/
|_ standard/
|_ xarlets (XARs)
|_ selenium/
|_ blog/
|_ calendar/
|_ ...
where:
* tools/ contains tools used to build the platform and xwiki
applications
* xarlets/ contains independent xwiki apps (we need a word better
than xarlets and different than applications which we should
reserve for things like curriki, xwiki enterprise, xem, etc) that
can be installed in any running xwiki app
* In the future core/ will be replaced with:
|_ components/ (JARs)
|_ xwiki-model/
|_ xwiki-storage/
|_ ...
* In the future web/ will be replaced with UI components (see the
UI proposal for more)
Definition of xwiki-enterprise/
=======================
/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-applications/xwiki-enterprise/
|_ wiki/
|_ distribution/
|_ distribution-test/
where:
* wiki/ contains the xar pages
Generic definition of an xwiki-application/
=================================
/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-applications/<app name>/
|_ wiki/
|_ web/ (optional)
|_ plugins/ (optional)
|_ skin/ (optional)
|_ distribution/
|_ distribution-test/
For example for xwiki-watch/:
/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-applications/xwiki-watch/
|_ wiki/
|_ web/ (the gwt stuff)
|_ distribution/
|_ distribution-test/
I think this pretty much includes everything we currently have in
SVN.
WDYT?
Thanks

It seems that the updated pom.xml files that were checked in which

seems to break the syntax.
Maven complained that there should only be one <repositories> tag, two

Hi everyone,
Here's the current status:
* The m2 build works for everything except watch which isn't
finished yet.
* I haven't put back the Ant build as it's more work to maintain 2
builds and I think the m2 build is good enough not to require the
Ant build.
Thus you can start doing some check outs and commits again. Please
let me know of any issue you find and I'll fix it.
Improvements yet to come:
* Add support for build numbering for having the SVN rev in
version.properties (this is supposed through the buildnumber
plugin in m2)
* Finish the Watch build and add support for GWT compiler in the
build (using the m2 gwt plugin)
* Find out to automate generation of NSIS executables.
* Move some of the old unit tests previously in xwiki/tests in the
new dir structure and as unit tests done in isolation
* Add a distribution module for the XEM build (and a distribution-
test module for functional tests)
* Update the building doc on xwiki.org to reflect the latest changes
* Possibly add more svn:externals definitions if users/devs find
that the main one is too all-encompassing
* Find ways and documents them to do in place web development
easily with the new structure

New subject: [xwiki-dev] [Proposal] New SVN directory structure to accommodate the different applications we have
Thanks, everything works very well for me so far. I'm using Eclipse here
for development. This new structure is very convenient. Well done :-)
I'll try to update the Eclipse building page asap:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/BuildingInEclipse
Cheers

Hi everyone,
Here's the current status:
* The m2 build works for everything except watch which isn't finished yet.
* I haven't put back the Ant build as it's more work to maintain 2
builds and I think the m2 build is good enough not to require the Ant
build.
Thus you can start doing some check outs and commits again. Please let
me know of any issue you find and I'll fix it.
Improvements yet to come:
* Add support for build numbering for having the SVN rev in
version.properties (this is supposed through the buildnumber plugin in m2)
* Finish the Watch build and add support for GWT compiler in the build
(using the m2 gwt plugin)
* Find out to automate generation of NSIS executables.
* Move some of the old unit tests previously in xwiki/tests in the new
dir structure and as unit tests done in isolation
* Add a distribution module for the XEM build (and a distribution-test
module for functional tests)
* Update the building doc on xwiki.org to reflect the latest changes
* Possibly add more svn:externals definitions if users/devs find that
the main one is too all-encompassing
* Find ways and documents them to do in place web development easily
with the new structure
Thanks

hmm... I'm just starting to implement the new
structure and already
I'd like to suggest 2 modifications:
1) Rename xwiki-applications into xwiki-products
2) Rename xarlets into xwiki-applications
WDYT?
Thanks

Hi,
Note: This email supercedes all my other proposals on the SVN
directory structure.
The rationale for this mail is that we're starting to have lots of
applications built on top of the xwiki platform: XWiki Enterprise
(default wiki), XEM, Watch, Curriki, Chronopolys, etc. We need to
accomodate them in our directory structure.
Top level structure
===============
/svnroot/xwiki/
|_ xwiki-platform/
|_ xwiki-applications/
|_ xwiki-enterprise/
|_ xwiki-enterprise-manager/
|_ xwiki-watch/
|_ curriki/
|_ chronopolys/
|_ xwiki-extensions/
|_ xwiki-eclipse/
|_ xwiki-concerto/
|_ sandbox/
where:
* xwiki-platform is the xwiki platform on which all the applications
are built.
* xwiki-applications are applications that extend the platform with:
skins, xwiki pages (XAR), plugins
* xwiki-enterprise is the name of our previously known "default wiki"
application.
* xwiki-extensions are any other extensions of xwiki not fitting in
xwiki-applications. For example the XWiki Eclipse integration, etc.
I've put concerto there but I'm not sure what it'll look like.
Definition of xwiki-platform
=====================
/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-platform/
|_ tools/
|_ core/ (JAR)
|_ plugins/ (JARs)
|_ skins/ (ZIPs)
|_ dodo/
|_ finch/
|_ albatross/
|_ web/ (WARs)
|_ gwt/
|_ standard/
|_ xarlets (XARs)
|_ selenium/
|_ blog/
|_ calendar/
|_ ...
where:
* tools/ contains tools used to build the platform and xwiki
applications
* xarlets/ contains independent xwiki apps (we need a word better
than xarlets and different than applications which we should reserve
for things like curriki, xwiki enterprise, xem, etc) that can be
installed in any running xwiki app
* In the future core/ will be replaced with:
|_ components/ (JARs)
|_ xwiki-model/
|_ xwiki-storage/
|_ ...
* In the future web/ will be replaced with UI components (see the UI
proposal for more)
Definition of xwiki-enterprise/
=======================
/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-applications/xwiki-enterprise/
|_ wiki/
|_ distribution/
|_ distribution-test/
where:
* wiki/ contains the xar pages
Generic definition of an xwiki-application/
=================================
/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-applications/<app name>/
|_ wiki/
|_ web/ (optional)
|_ plugins/ (optional)
|_ skin/ (optional)
|_ distribution/
|_ distribution-test/
For example for xwiki-watch/:
/svnroot/xwiki/xwiki-applications/xwiki-watch/
|_ wiki/
|_ web/ (the gwt stuff)
|_ distribution/
|_ distribution-test/
I think this pretty much includes everything we currently have in SVN.
WDYT?
Thanks
