1. If you want other projects to use your stuff you need to prepare
an official release. :-)
First we have to discuss, which project does the release? Do we want
to pull it into Cocoon? TBH, I'd rather get rid of Excalibur
dependencies that creating another one.
Hmm, yes, I tend to agree. But jnet needs to be a separate project
when it proofs to be useful (which i think it is). We already have the
configuration stuff and the ssf, so we could jnet here as well as a
separate subproject. I've no problem with that. However, as it will be
a separate project you still have the dependency.
Jnet currently depends on sourceresolve 3.0 which is an avalon free
version of sourceresolve...so the whole thing is not that easy :)
I think we should try to get the avalon free sourceresolve out of the
door at excalibur asap. And perhaps move jnet as its own subproject
over to Cocoon?
My problem is not having dependencies in general but with dependencies
that don't have another user than us. It just introduces another layer
of bureaucracy making things more complicated for us without a
noticeable benefit.
I agree.
Since we have to depend on sourceresolve anyway, it doesn't matter if
there is another dependency on jnet that his hosted by Excalibur.
Yes :(
The other option is pulling the sourceresolve code into Cocoon too and
promoting it to the level of a subproject.
Now, I think that this will be over time the best solution *if* we can
keep the excalibur package names - but I think that should be possible.
Let's face it, Excalibur is more or less a dead project. The stuff there
is useful and used in some projects, but there is no community anymore
to support stuff. We are the strongest users of some of the stuff there
(sourceresolve, xml, store), so moving these things seems to be a good
choice.
The problematic part is the time frame. I would suggest to just copy the
jnet classes to SSF to be able to release SSF in a short time frame.
We can then sort out the details after Easter.
WDYT?
