Hi all,
I worked the last days to get the xwiki-platform-chat running in an example
installation. This project looks very interesting for us at Curriki. But I
think I have the "normal" problems at this point of time. The current
version of the xwiki-platform-chat at github seems to depend on the
4.2-SNAPSHOT version of xwiki. but I can not find them in the snapshot
repository of xwiki nexus (
http://nexus.xwiki.org/nexus/content/groups/public-snapshots).
Is that intended? Am I doing something wrong (Searching the wrong
repository)?
Note that snapshots are ephemeral by nature and the xwiki open source project only
supports the last 2 versions (ie. the new version in construction and the last stable
one). ATM this means 5.0-SNAPSHOT and 4.5.1.
We don't have a proper mechanism in place for cleaning up our snapshots though so you
may older ones available but ideally they should all be cleaned except branches that are
built by our cI (http//ci.xwiki.org) and that's 4.5.x and master (5.0-SNAPSHOT).
Apart from that it would be interesting what you think
about the future of
the xwiki-platform-chat?
Is is intended to be pushed further, to newer versions of xwiki, or away
from the jetty dependency?
I believe the whole community would be interested in seeing some progress made on that.
However, ATM I don't know anyone working actively on it, so feel free to make it
progress further! If you need write access to
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki-platform-chat let us know and we'll grant it to
you.
Thanks

Thanks in advance

PS: I tried to remove all the "SNAPSHOT"s and go for version 4.2 this seems
to bring me to a "Build Successful" but the resulting .war seems not to be
assembled correctly (missing artifacts).
