Bob Schellink commented on CLK-347:
-----------------------------------
> So, should we finalize the definition of modularity that we are talking here?
I don't know anymore. I think this question just solidifies that we are not
trying to solve real world problems here, and are instead speculating and
theorizing about problems that could fit into the modularity concept.
Unfortunately this leads to bloatware eg. features added to the framework that
nobody uses or that is too hard to use.
Regardless here is what is already possible with the framework today:
- split a large project into multiple pieces (modules) and assemble all the
parts when building the final product (this is normally achieved with ANT, no
need for "modularity")
- split a large UI into "reusable" pieces that can be reused. This is already
possible through multi package[1] support:
click.xml:
<pages package="com.mycorp.mod1">
<pages package="com.mycorp.mod2">
Granted this does not provide drop-in "module" support. Instead its a
one-liner, so its pretty close. It also doesn't address multiple
configurations, however multiple configurations won't work anyway eg: mod1
depends on Velocity and mod2 depends on Freemarker. Click only supports one
Template Engine at a time.
