Hi All,
With https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-7906 "Have a Gradle
build file for the cmssite component" Pierre Smits suggests to put
back the jars needed by the Webhelp .
We already discussed lengthy about Webhelp solution and I know some
persons are not for it, at least as it's currently integrated in OFBiz.
Within https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-6644 "Webhelp
umbrella task" Sharan said 4 days ago "I'd like to look at the Webhelp
again in relation to the new trunk with Gradle to see how it could be
incorporated."
I also know that the Nereides team (Nicolas and Gil are among them)
has a beside solution (called addon) based on the Webhelp work. There
is also a Webhelp branch
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/ofbiz/branches/webhelp-2012-12-07 .
My apologies but Nereide don't use the webhelp. The latest analyze that
I realized conclude that I useful but don't respect some basic OFBiz
aspect :
* don't use content to manage the content
* don't respect the component isolation
So I'd like to know what are the opinions of the community members
about this subject. Should we?
1) Keep the Webhelp as is in OFBiz, improve and really use it (so
begin by applying OFBIZ-7906 patch)
2) Put the Webhelp in a (next coming) plugin component (ie out of the
cmssite component). This would release the dependency to the cmssite
component but I fear this needs more work but I'd need confirmation
from the Nereides team.
+1 to put on extension/plugin/somethinglikethat and analyze a second
step when it's more ofbiz compliant ;)
3) Drop the Webhelp
I hope nobody is for the point 3, because I remember the hard work we
did with Tom (Burns) and the current help is ugly compared with what
the Webhelp can deliver (ie more than what we saw already which was
already a great achievement IMO)
Thanks in advance for your feedback
Jacques
