Dear all,
Until the end of 2014, but before the release of Marmotta 3.3.0, we did develop
two modules based on Marmotta's "3.3.0-SNAPSHOT" code from the "develop" branch.
Those modules do work properly in our fork which has not been updated yet to
3.3.0.
Also, the code is not yet published on our github fork.
What would you recommend to make those modules available to the community ? and
what do we technically need to do ?
As a simple test, I did download the new Marmotta 3.3.0 installer, but when I
add the module's .jar file to
"apache-tomcat-7.0.53\webapps\marmotta\WEB-INF\lib", then Marmotta will fail to
start-up. I guess this is normal.
Before investigating further, I think I need more explanation than the one
found on http://wiki.apache.org/marmotta/Customizing#Build_your_custom_module
Also, the modules need their own folders in Marmotta's home. When starting the
service of the module, those folder will be created by the module if they don't
exist yet. But some files will be required in those folders and I would like to
know if their is any "easy" way to distribute those files on the first launch
(for instance copying them from the .jar content), or if an installation
programm would be more "clean" ?
The simplest solution if someone would like to test/use the modules would be:
just place the .jar in "\webapps\marmotta\WEB-INF\lib", but maybe that can't be
so simple ?
Thank you for any help
Fabian
