> 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

> Attachments: OOZIE-2625.001.patch, OOZIE-2625.002.patch

> 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.
