Hello Xwikiers,
I found swizzle-confluence an easy to use lib to pull data from
XWiki/Confluence. From previous discussions, I understand XWiki is
also using it internally. My biggest issue is that the released
version is using an ancient version of httpclient, but it's fixed in
the svn.
Yep, that was contributed by Catalin when he was working on the XWiki
XMLRPC improvements :) He provided several other patches. I think most
of them if not all are also included in swizzle's SVN.
I've pinged the swizzle guy a few times on the
project email list
during several months, but it seems he's not interested or too busy
to put up a release.
I've been trying to ping David Blevins a few times myself. Being such
a nice guy I was surprised that he never answered. After I received
your mail I was able to find him on IRC. He had never received my
emails for some reason (spam, etc). He's now working on applying the
last XWiki patch http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/SWIZZLE-24 but he
needs help from Catalin to apply it (I've pinged Catalin yesterday but
not answer so far).
I think XWiki uses your own build for
swizzle-confluence. I'd be
happy if that version was available in some common Maven(2) repo as
I'm trying to avoid maintaining my own version. Have you guys
thought about what to do with it, maybe even hosting it as its own
sub project as part of XWiki?
Sure, but the best is really to work with David and help him out to
do releases of swizzle. I know he's been awfully busy but he's ready
to do a quick release if we can answer the questions he has on our
latest patch.
Thanks
