Re: [xwiki-devs] Where to commit the new tree widget?

Hi devs, Following the vote on http://lists.xwiki.org/pipermail/devs/2014-September/057560.html I started working on a generic tree widget based on jsTree. I'm almost done now and I'm wondering where's the best place to commit my work. There are 3 parts: (1) A generic JavaScript tree widget (used by all trees) The common practice so far was to put the new JavaScript code in xwiki-platform-web (resources/uicomponents). But since we started using webjars I'm wondering if it's not better to create a webjar. The advantage is that the applications will be able to explicitly declare a dependency on the tree widget. The downside is that the JavaScript code is a bit harder to modify. Another option is to put the tree widget in a JSX object but we may need to use it in Velocity templates also (e.g. the report step of the DW). I prefer the webjar.

(2) A couple of wiki pages that define specific trees: * One page for the All Docs Tree (space-page-child) * One page for the XWiki Entity Tree (wiki-space-page-[translations|attachments|objects|properties|sections]) * One page for the Hierarchy Tree (page-child) * One page for the XAR import tree (space-page) * others later maybe I'm hesitating between creating a dedicated module (xwiki-platform-tree-ui) and putting them in existing modules like the xwiki-platform-index.

(3) A couple of jobs (Java code) to perform tree operations that can take time, like deleting or renaming a space. For these I could use the xwiki-platform-refactoring module since they are generic operations, not limited to trees. We have a Delete space entry in the top menu and we probably want a Rename space one.

WDYT? Thanks, Marius
