Gavin commented on FOR-1108:
----------------------------
Well, I got the .Text and .POD plugins working fine on Windows too,
and I
expect if I make the same changes throughout the rest will too. I
will
test on a couple of whiteboard plugins next.
Previously - with a seed-sample and no dispatcher, only the PDF
plugin
worked, with the changes below then the above two also work now.
<locator>
<match pattern="text.transform.*.*">
<select>
<location src="resources/stylesheets/{1}-to-
{2}.xsl" />
<location
src="{forrest:forrest.plugins}/
org.apache.forrest.plugin.output.Text/resou
rces/stylesheets/{1}-to-{2}.xsl"/>
</select>
</match>
</locator>
So, all I did there then was add in a second match using the more
full path
to the plugins stylesheet(s) and so then it worked fine.
This is a workaround, one that we could extend and test to all
plugins and
if works fine can get Windows devs back to working on trunk.
Getting windows up and running is the primary goal - well done!
Or, we need to find the real cause and fix it there, may only be a
few lines
of one file rather than altering every single plugin.
We do need to figure out the real cause of the problem though. It used
to work and now it doesn't - who knows what hidden surprises there are
because of this.
However, since I wasn't finding the time to fix the windows problem
myself I'm not about to start demanding you fix this. However, it's
worth adding a fixme referring to the original issue when adding the
workaround.
As a windows user, I'll help with what I can, but I doubt 'll be
actively working on this (my main machines are all Linux).
