Hi all,
This is mainly for Deng and Teody as I've seen them working
through the issue for reporting... I took a look at the latest
patch and it's looking pretty good.
I did go to check about the jasper reports license, though, and it
appears from the POM that it is LGPL.
Though it's not official (yet), we shouldn't be distributing it
according to the ASF policy: http://people.apache.org/~cliffs/
3party.html#transition
So, I think we have 3 options if we continue to do this:
- put it in a separate module (and profile) that isn't distributed
with continuum, but can be built manually and installed
I take it this should be archiva not continuum? :)
anyway, +1 to this!
yup, sorry continuum on the brain trying to set up vmbuild :)
- require the user to drop jasperreports into WEB-INF/lib (and
gracefully fail if they don't)
- come up with a whiz-bang addon installer that can get them to
confirm the license and grab the jasper stuff from the repository
(a bit much for now :)
I'm thinking 1) is the best way to go, and provide a bland,
default implementation of the reporting pages that doesn't use
jasper (just a spit out a table of everything).
WDYT?
Cheers,
Brett
Thanks,
Deng
