Hello fellow developers, the ideal situation would be that someone transmits us a finished build of https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki-platform-chat so that we can inspect it and port the changes to an environment that we trust. Fabio? Anyone else having a 4.2-SNAPSHOT? thanks in advance Paul PS: Ludovic, have I properly understood that http://extensions.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Extension/ChatApplication is an independent but more experimental chat application that does not use the XMPP protocol?

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 -Vincent

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).

I spoke too fast :) Actually the version that was building fine was 4.0-SNAPSHOT. But by using 4.0 I can't have a correct build. Everything is successful but the Jetty distribution is empty. The WAR seems fine but when deployed and after importing the ui-all XAR it doesn't seem to work. So it definitely needs some more investingation to make it compatible with the latest releases. -Fabio On Wed, Mar 6, 2013 at 3:30 PM, Fabio Mancinelli <[email protected]> wrote:

Hi Felix,

I think that in this case you can safely put whatever version you want in the POM... I don't think that the application uses specific features. It was 4.2-SNAPSHOT because at the time it was the latest version available and that's the only reason.

For the WAR assemblying I haven't checked lately. Maybe something has changed in how XWiki modules are built so maybe it's just a matter of updating this process. Should not be that hard.
