The curriki project is a separate project from the xwiki products (XE, XEM, etc) and should actually have its own mailing list, SVN repository, etc (this will be done in the future when an admin can free up some time). I'm personally NOT a committer on it and I haven't participated on it except helping initially when someone had to volunteer to write its build. Since then I haven't touched it and I don't want to touch it since I'm not part of the project.
I this case, I think the [email protected] mailng-list is appropriate since it's a quite general question about building your own derivative of XWiki...
Please insist if you think curriki discussion is polluting the XWiki dev list, this can be easily set-up. I was more under the impression that, as long as there's the curriki word in the subject, it is good practice to stay on devs@.
Yes right now it is.
FWIW we're using Maven2 for building XWiki Core, XE, XEM, XWiki Watch and XWS and we're not finding it blocking in any way. And no we don't have any manual step and it's all automated. So I'd assume the problem is not with Maven2 itself.
Except that you have already an amount of custom plugins made for that.
Not really, these plugins are purely xwiki-specific and nothing generic.
Basically, ant-scripting, as can be done with the ant-run plugin I just discovered, pumps into the huge wealth of those ant-tasks that have been realized.
Such things as a change-file-name is not very specific, but something that does not yet have a maven plugin but has an ant task (this is a factor 100) can take advantage of it.
My only comment was that you should look for a solution using the existing maven2 plugins before you start considering a work around. As I said I have no clue what you guys are talking about since I don't know GWT.
really wishing curriki discussion to leave?
Not really, at least not right now and not before we define a general strategy for products in general. Thanks -Vincent
