hmmm.... I'm really against adding new features, in a RC phase! I'll prefer this to be rolled back to be honest. However if we want to keep it then we need some tests that'll prove it's not breaking anything. We shouldn't add dangerous stuff like this in a RC phase and especially not without a vote IMO.

I think the code below would benefit from some comment and from a separate method, like boolean checkAccessForInactiveUsers() Do we have tests to prove this works? :) Since this seems to be a new feature, I think we really need some tests.

Re: [xwiki-devs] Building Xwiki core (Kamna Jain)

by sachin mittal

Hi, Can you paste the console output. You can add the maven bin directory to the path variable so that you dont have to type the full path to mvn.bat every time you run the mvn scripts. Also what do you get when you type mvn -version in the command prompt.

Yes, I am setting the JAVA_HOME variable with DOS prompt and after I set it, I log of and then it is available in the list of env. variables after I log back in. But, when I try to run mvn install, it still gives me the same error. Also, although, I set the M2_HOMe variable, I am not able to use mvn command without its location! (I have to write the full path of the mvn.bat file and then say install after a space) I dont know what I am doing wrong. Thanks for your replies.

[xwiki-devs] Building Xwiki core

by Kamna Jain

Hello, I am trying to learn how to build XWiki from the source. I checked out the source code in Eclipse 3.3 using Sunclipse and then I created a Java Project out of the XWiki Core/src folder. Now, I am trying to follow directions from the links - http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building I downloaded maven-2.1-SNAPSHOT and create dthe .m2/settings.xml. I also created M2_HOME varibale and set the PATH variable with M2_HOME. Set the JAVA_HOME to the jdk installed on my system. But, when I try "mvn install" from the directory where I have the XWiki/src checked out (Eclipse workspace), it says that JAVA_HOME is not set and gives me the following error: ERROR: JAVA_HOME not found in your environment. Please set the JAVA_HOME variable in your environment to match the location of your Java installation I have JAVA_HOME set and it shows up in the list of env. variables in my system like this: JAVA_HOME = C:\abc\Java\jdk1.5.0_14 PATH = C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32;C:\Program Files\Subversion\bin;C:\Program Files\TortoiseSVN\bin;C:\Program Files\Quest Software\PuTTY\;C:\Program Files\QuickTime\QTSystem\;C:\Program Files\Quest Software\PuTTY\;%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%M2_HOME%\bin Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong and what I should change to get this right! Also, am I on the irght path when I I say I am trying to buildthe src of XWiki -core? and nothing else! As an eclipse project, it is all compiled and does not show errors implying that it has all the files that it needs for it to complie.

[xwiki-devs] [Proposal] XE 1.3 final release date

by Vincent Massol

Hi, I'm proposing to revise the 1.3 Final release date to this Friday 7th of March 2007. We've already fixed the major issues raised in 1.3RC1 but I think we need a few days to let people report any issues they might have had with 1.3RC1. Let me know what you think and especially if you don't agree. I'm proposing to do the release. Thanks -Vincent

[xwiki-devs] Xwiki Enterprise 1.3 RC1 release date?

by Everitt, Glenn

Is the plan to provide a xwiki-enterprise-web1-1.3-rc1.war file on the Xwiki Download page? When do you think this would be available? Would it be better to pull it directly from svn? If I get it from svn how is the RC1 release marked? I noticed that you were looking at using GWT Html editor. Doesn't GWT Html editor just wrap the FCKEditor? What is the advantage of using GWT Html Editor instead of just using the FCKEditor? Thanks Glenn Everitt The contents of this e-mail are intended for the named addressee only.

[xwiki-devs] [idea] Velocity uberspector + annotations + deprecated code

by Sergiu Dumitriu

Hi, Since we decided to switch to Java 1.5, I found a nice use for annotations. We can detect usage of deprecated APIs in java, but it is hard to do in velocity. One way we can accomplish this is by writing our own velocity uberspector, that checks if a method call is deprecated or not, and logs the calls to deprecated methods. This will allow us to easily spot deprecated code in our templates and fix them. The drawback is that it could slow things down a bit. The advantage is that as long as we properly use annotations, any deprecated method used will be listed in the log. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu/

[Proposal] Internationalizing XWiki Applications

by Vincent Massol

Hi, Here's my proposal for internationalizing XWiki apps. The idea is to propose several solutions for XWiki apps writers: * Use case 1: I have lots of text on my page - solution: use XWiki's mechanism for translating page by creating several editions of the page in the different languages * Use case 2: I want translation resources for my application only and I'd like to share resources between pages - solution: use: $msg("mykey", "MySpace.MyTranslationDocForThisApplication") - MySpace.MyTranslationDocForThisApplication is a standard document to which a XWiki.PropertiesClass object is attached - It'll search first in that doc's PropertiesClass and if not found in XWiki's registered document bundles and if not there in XWiki's static resource bundle files * Use case 3: I want translation resources only for a given page - solution: use: $msg("mykey", $doc) - You'll need to have attached a PropertieClass object to the page where $msg is used - It'll search first in that object and if not found in XWiki's registered document bundles and if not there in XWiki's static resource bundle files * Use case 4: I want to have a global translation resources for all my apps in the wiki - solution: use: $msg("mykey") - You'll need to have created ad registered resource bundle documents in the Wiki preferences - It'll search first in XWiki's registered document bundles and if not there in XWiki's static resource bundle files Implementation details: * Add XWikiMessageTool.get(String, String) API * Add XWiki.PropertiesClass class in XE in the Administration Application + a class sheet for presenting the properties nicely WDYT? Thanks -Vincent
