The Administration Application is included in the default wiki since 1.5M2.
Is it on a branch? Because I'm building from the HEAD and I had to
include the application, I received the same message.
I think this shows that some things aren't clear about xwiki wiki and
applications. I'll try to explain it a bit :
- xwiki-enterprise-web is a webapp containing all the _files_ xwiki
needs to run.
- xwiki-enterprise-wiki is a set of wiki _applications_ like the
administration application (which contains the administration UI)
- xwiki applications (like xwiki-application-administration) are sets
of wiki _pages_
The normal installation process consist in deploying
xwiki-enterprise-web in a container and then to import
xwiki-enterprise-wiki in the database.
The only users that should be aware that the administration is now an
application are the users upgrading their wiki from 1.4.x (and
previous) to 1.5.
Their wiki isn't empty since they've imported xwiki-enterprise-wiki in
the past (and they may not want to upgrade it) but they miss all the
new administration pages.
I realize that now, with the message "The administration application
isn't installed blabla", a lot of our new users will be tempted to
import only this app and not the whole wiki (because everybody prefers
not to read the documentation ;) so I've modified the behavior a bit
(XWIKI-2565).
Starting with XE 1.5RC2 this is what you'll see :
- after a fresh xwiki-enterprise-web install :
http://jv.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WikiEmpty
- after an upgrade from 1.4.x (and previous) to 1.5 :
http://jv.myxwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WikiNotEmptyAdminAppNotInstalled
Hope this will be helpful,
JV.
