[xwiki-users] update the Wysiwyg editor
Hi, Is there any way to update the Wysiwyg editor without updating the whole xwiki? I note that my xwiki version is 2.0 and I wish update the Wysiwyg to 2.6 version. thank you.

Yes, but it's not always possible. The WYSIWYG editor has a client side and a server side. The server side implements some service interfaces published by the client side. The server side uses the XWiki rendering module and the XWiki core. As long as the interfaces shared between the client and the server don't change you can use a newer client with an older server. Upgrading the WYSIWYG editor server side is complicated because it means upgrading the rendering and the core, which leads to updating most of the jars from WEB-INF/lib.
I note that my xwiki version is 2.0 and I wish update the Wysiwyg to 2.6 version.
That's not possible because the shared interfaces have changed between 2.0 and 2.6 and so the 2.6 client doesn't work with the 2.0 server. Also, the rendering module as well as the entire platform has changed very much between 2.0 and 2.6 so it's very difficult to upgrade the WYSIWYG editor server side. In this case it's easier to upgrade the entire wiki to 2.6. Hope this helps, Marius
thank you.
