Hello,
Following the recent discussion on using SVN as a backend for
Xwiki, I'd like to discuss something symetrical, i.e. to use SVN
and Eclipse as a front-end. The idea is to write Xwiki pages
containing Groovy code in Eclipse (or Emacs), store it in SVN and
deploy it automatically on an Xwiki.
Yes, this is an excellent idea. We have created a GSoc project for
this here:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/IDE+Editor
+Integration
(of course anyone is welcome to collaborate on this project)
What I'm not sure though is why would we need SVN for this? My idea
was to use the XWiki XML RPC API to send data to the XWiki server.
WDYT?
My idea is to use Ant as a deployment tool, with the
Ant POST task
for instance:

This way, the project can be easily integrated into Eclipse. I'm
wondering how the Groovy Eclipse plug-in can be used: http://
groovy.codehaus.org/Eclipse+Plugin
My guess is that the editing part can be usefull, but that running
Groovy inside Eclipse wont do it for now.
I think it's pretty easy to benefit from auto complete and syntax
coloring and that's already quite good.
Thanks
