Hi devs,
I updated locally XWiki Watch trunk to work with XWiki Enterprise 2.3.2
(right now it's 1.8.4 version) and I would like to commit this in the
Watch trunk.
There is a little issue though, with the modules for building the
standalone distribution(s) (distribution, database, installers, web),
which need to be handled, for which there are 3 options:
0/ update the distribution related modules to make them compatible with
2.3 and the process is not straightforward due to Watch particularities
(this would mean extra work and since I don't know when I will be able
to do it, it means not commit right away)
1A/ remove the distribution related modules from the watch trunk and
leave it installable as a .xar + component (as described at
http://watch.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Installation#HXWikiWatchoveranex…
)
drawback is that users installing it need to edit the web.xml which is
not that easy for everyone.
1B/ leave the distribution related modules, just exclude them from the
default build since they will fail, until 0/ can be fixed right.
I would go for 1B since I think partial update to 2.3 is better than
nothing (current version on 1.8.4 is not really useful in most cases)
and earlier is better than later.
WDYT?
Thanks,
Anca

Hi Anca -- thanks for supporting XWikiWatch. I agree with your
proposal to leave XWikiWatch as a component-only and not worry about
installers or making it a standalone distribution. I look forward to
trying your changes after you commit them.
Once promoted to component-only, it would be nice to have XWikiwatch
updated to work with 2.3.X, and to continue keeping it working along
with the trunk. You mention 2.3.2 explicitly. Is there any reason why
that wouldn't work with the current trunk or 2.4?
FYI, I had problems building against 2.3, after reading here that
there was even a chance of it working with versions > 2.0. Following
instructions at
http://watch.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/Installation#HBuildingandinstall…
"go to gwt-client, gwt-server, wikis modules (in
this order) and
type mvn clean install in each of them"
I can successfully build gwt-server and wikis, but have problems w/
gwt-client:
http://nielsmayer.com/npm/xwatch-error-gwt-client.txt
But I am stopped by the following error:
[INFO] [dependency:unpack {execution: unzip-gwt-libs}]
[INFO] Configured Artifact:
com.google.gwt:gwt-dev:linux-libs:2.0.3:zipDownloading:
http://maven.xwiki.org/externals/com/google/gwt/gwt-dev/2.0.3/gwt-dev-2.0.3…
I'm compiling/running using:
Apache Maven 2.2.1 (r801777; 2009-08-06 11:16:01-0800)
OS name: "linux" version: "2.6.32.21-166.fc12.x86_64" arch:
"amd64"
Family: "unix"
I haven't been able to find this gwt-dev-2.0.3-linux-libs.zip
anywhere. Any suggestions on how to get past this step in the
instructions?
Also, In the course of the build, it I noticed attempts at retrieving
1.5 Xwiki Core, rather that the 2.X.X version specified in the POM
"building over existing XE" instructions. Perhaps there are
subcomponents that still reference 1.5? Will these be remedied by your
proposed checkin?

gwt-dev is not platform dependent anymore since 2.0 so the "linux"
classifier must be dropped. There are other changes that have to be done
so you should wait for Anca's commit.
Hope this helps,
Marius

I don't know why we would make it harder for someone to install watch. Maintaining the
distribution is really easy and requires almost no change at all (as we can see from our
XE experience).
I'd definitely agree with 0/ once we can install Watch as a single bundle (maybe with
the extension manager ;)).
To summarize, we need to make it as easy as possible for users to try it out.
Re the web.xml merge it's not hard to do it with a maven plugin or ant task. In the
future we should do without the need to modify web.xml of course. BTW would be interesting
to see how long it takes to get rid of this need.
I don't think that fixing the distribution would require more than 2 hours of work. I
can help too if you have questions on how to do it.
Thanks
