Hi,
I have been trying to build XWiki from source code and follow the instructions from
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Building#HCheckingoutthesourc…
but i have difficulties in getting all the souce codes. Though it is possible to obtain the source codes from http://svnmirror.xwiki.org/svn/mirror/xwiki/ , and it is very tedious to donwload the individual files. Furthermore, i can't download the zip file from http://fisheye2.cenqua.com/browse/xwiki/.. Therefore, is there any place where i can download different version of XWiki source codes in a zip file?
Regards

Hello!
I'm planning the development of the following functionality:
- Running xwiki instance on MySQL;
- There will be an external database (a Datawarehouse to be more
precise), with business indicators
- If any of the indicators reached a predefined limit value, I' d like
to have my xwiki generate a document with information about this event and
send an e-mail alert to the administrator (or other users)
My strategy may be to create a IndicatorClass with some properties like
name, description, businessarea, currentvalue, limitvalue, externalTable,
externalColumn etc. Then I'll have to update these indicators on a regular
basiis, which I could do with a procedure that will check the external
database and get the latest values. For those which reached the limit
values, I'd like to generate automaticaly a document (of the class Risk for
instance) and send an e-mail to warn of these risks.
What do you think? Maybe a plugin could be a more structured way of doing
this...
Thanks in advance for your tips :)
Bye,
Ricardo.

Hi,
I'm about to commit the Application Manager from Thomas Mortagne. He
has partially implemented this idea: http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/
view/Design/ApplicationManager
It's composed of 2 modules:
- a plugin
- a set of documents (XAR)
It allows to create applications inside a wiki by creating a page
which acts as an Application Descriptor and which contains definition
of all documents in an application, the version of the application,
etc. It also allows to export an application as a XAR file (a
standard XAR + this Application Descriptor). All in all it has 2-3
pages for managing applications, listing installed applications, etc.
I'm going to do the following:
1) Commit his work in platform/plugins and platform/applications
2) Document it on xwiki.org in the Applications section of the Code Zone
Later on, I think we could start using it for splitting XE into
separate applications.
Just to let you know. As usual let me know if you think there's a
problem.
Thanks

Hi,
With the 1.1M3 release we have currently only released a hsql version
of the platform WAR. That war only includes the HSQL JAR but not the
driver JARS for other DBs.
In our current build we can generate the platform WAR for other DBs
using for ex: mvn install -Pmysql. That includes the driver JAR for
that DB.
Before we were bundling all driver JARs into our WAR so our users may
be a bit confused and we need to decide on the strategy we want to
have. I can see 3 possible strategies:
1) 1 WAR per database
- We could start by releasing only 2 WARs: one for HSQL and one for
MySQL. I don't think we need more and releasing more is going to be a
pain as each WAR weights 40MB.
2) 1 WAR with everything
- Cons: having all these DB drivers makes our WAR fatter
- Possible solution: we only release the HSQL and MySQL drivers
3) 1 empty WAR
I feel 3) might actually be the best solution for the following reasons:
- if the user is non technical he'll install the standalone version
- if the user is technical it means he shouldn't have any problem
following install instructions that tell him to download such driver
at such location and put it in WEB-INF/lib
- we only release one common WAR and our XWiki Platform is
environment independent (which is a new property to have I think)
- releasing one WAR makes our release process simpler (only 40MB to
release once)
WDYT?
Thanks

Hi Asiri/Tharindu,
I'd like to set a new target date for the XEclipse 1.0M2 release so
that we have an objective.
Could you please tell me what date would be reasonable, taking into
account your studies and such?
Thanks

Hi,
I'd like to promote 1.1RC2 as 1.1 final. There's a 1.1.1 on the way
if we require important bugs fixes. But I haven't seen important bugs
yet on 1.1RC2.
Here's my +1
Thanks

Hi,
Maintaining copyright statements in source file headers is a pain.
The ASF has solved this recently by removing copyright information
from headers. Their header is now:

The important line is "See the NOTICE file distributed with this work
for additional information regarding copyright ownership".
I propose that we do the same and have this new boilerplate:

WDYT?
I'm not a lawyer so I have no idea if this is valid or not but it
looks sensible to me.
