Hi devs and Thomas,
Just noticed a new commons-repository module.
Could someone explain to me what is this new module and why it's not part of
xwiki-commons-extension, even though it's full of references to "extension"
everywhere in it? (109 occurrences)
Since Extension Manager as an module to install/manage extension in
your application and XWiki Repository as a platform to distribute
extensions are very different technically and are starting to be
pretty big Marius and me decided to separated them in two different
modules. The main link between them is that Extension Manager has a
handler for this kind of repositories exactly like it has one for
maven repositories (and more later). It makes easier to manage them
separately in UI tests, Jira,etc.
Note1: Its description in pom.xml is pretty vague:
<description>XWiki Commons - Repository</description>
In commons-repository-api it's even worse:
<description>Contains commons stuff to use in a a client or a server
implementation</description>
Note2: On http://commons.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome it's not described
either, nor on e.x.o
I just finished the refactoring on git yesterday...
Thanks
-Vincent
