------------------------------------
Summary: Drop workflowgenerator
Key: OOZIE-2625
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OOZIE-2625
Project: Oozie
Issue Type: Task
Reporter: Robert Kanter
Assignee: Robert Kanter
Fix For: 4.3.0
I propose we drop the workflowgenerator for the following reasons:
# It relies on the {{gwt-links}} dependency from {{com.orange.links}}, which is
hosted on googlecode, which is down now, so it's causing a lot of build
failures:
{code}
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal on project oozie-workflowgenerator: Could not
resolve dependencies for project
org.apache.oozie:oozie-workflowgenerator:war:4.3.0-SNAPSHOT: Failure to find
com.orange.links:gwt-links:jar:1.3-SNAPSHOT in
http://gwt-links.googlecode.com/svn/repository was cached in the local
repository, resolution will not be reattempted until the update interval of
gwt-links has elapsed or updates are forced -> [Help 1]
{code}
# It hasn't been really updated in 3 or 4 years now. Nobody is actively
maintaining it or testing it (as far as I know). It surely lacks newer
features like Spark Action support.
# Other UI editors, such as Hue, are more widely adopted, better maintained,
and easier to use/install.
