Hi devs,
I'd like to add an archetype module in xwiki-enterprise so that users can easily extend XE to create their own distributions.
It'll generate a multimodule project with *-web, *-ui, *-data and *-distribution modules (and possibly installers in a second version).
I remember some users asking for this (e.g. Fabio) and I have the need myself now.
WDYT?
+1, but the name should be more generic, like
you mean less generic, not more :)
No, I mean more generic. xwiki-enterprise is too specific, it means exactly the XWiki Enterprise product.
xwiki-distribution-archetype, because that's what it builds, custom distributions built on top of XWiki, not enterprises for XWiki.
I chose voluntarily to not have xwiki-enterprise-distribution-archetype because it doesn't build distributions. It generates all modules to build a product based on XE.
Right, "product" is the right term. I used "distribution" as a synonym of "product" (like a Linux distro) not with the "packaging/installer" sense that's used in the actual XE modules. So, +1 for xwiki-product-archetype. -- Sergiu Dumitriu http://purl.org/net/sergiu
