Hi devs,
Since I got some veto on http://markmail.org/message/feavtmfokcsaalpo
lets cut all that in small peaces.
The today's episode is about finding what is the war we are running it
at runtime to list it in the core extensions (among other things it
allows to check for available updates).
Like the JAR packages, a WAR contains pom.xml file, problem is that
this pom.xml file is not in a "stable" location
(META-INF/<groupId>/<artifactId>/pom.xml) and I can't find any generic
way to scan a WAR like Reflection allows to scan jars files from the
classpath.
See http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XWIKI-7895 for more details.
So as a last resort solution I propose to include the extension
identifier in the METAINF.MF at build time. This will give me the
entry point I need to find the pom.xml and gather more detailed
informations about the war to put it as core extension.
WDYT ?
