I'll move the new WYSIWYG into the platform tomorrow morning.
Regarding the integration, I forgot one important detail that may cause
some problems: the GWT version. A few weeks ago I switched from 1.4.61 to
1.5-rc1. The latest version is now 1.5-rc2 and I believe they will soon
provide a final 1.5 version (AFAIK, there's no publicly available
roadmap). Some of the reasons that made me move to GWT 1.5 are:
* Java 1.5 goodies (use of generics instead of @gwt.typeArgs annotations)
* Improved API (Element#getInnerHTML() instead of
DOM#getInnerHTML(Element))
* Curiosity
Right now, platform-web-gwt depends on GWT 1.4.61. It seems to work on 1.5
since the new WYSIWYG depends on it and on GWT 1.5. So, what are the
options?
* Move platform-web-gwt to GWT 1.5 (but may cause problems in other
projects like Watch and Curriki)
AFAIK Curriki is currently on core/XE 1.4 branch, as well as watch trunk
(which could upgrade to 1.5 branch for its 1.1 release I think, or better
upgrade to core/XE 1.6 + GWT 1.5); so upgrading XE trunk to GWT 1.5-rc-2
should not be an issue IMO, there's just the uncertainty that 1.5 final
release of GWT being out by the time we are ready for XE 1.6 final...
Jerome.
* Use maven magic to obtain a special XE distribution
which will include
the new WYSIWYG and will depend on GWT 1.5 (but we won't have the new
WYSIWYG in the default distribution)
* Degrade the WYSIWYG to GWT 1.4 (but it will make me unhappy)
* Something else?
So WDYT?

Hi devs,
I propose to move the new WYSIWYG editor into the platform in order to
have it as an experimental feature for 1.6M1.
The following steps should be taken:
* Create a platform/web/wysiwyg module to host the code currently
resided
in sandbox/wysiwyg
* Change templates/edit.vm, templates/editpanels.vm and create
templates/editwysiwygnew.vm to make XE aware of the new editor. This way
our users will be able to experiment the new WYSIWYG editor on any page,
by having editor=wysiwygnew in the edit URL.
* Change platform/web/pom/xml and enterprise/web/pom.xml
Here's my +1
Marius
