hello. 4 years ago julian sedding contributed a great prototype for a "symlink resource provider" in SLING-1778 [1]. i've picked up this idea, enhanced it and added unit tests and documentation, currently hosted at github [2].
i want to included it into the sling SVN at contrib. i'm prepared to maintain it in the future. we're currently using it in production for somewhat about 1000 sites worldwide. my goal would be to make a 0.2.0 release soon after the donation, to allow others to use it easily and experiment with it. steps for future enhancements would be: - add an separate integration test project for it - the mockito-based unit tests are a bit too much mocked currently - make the "sling:superimposeOverlayable" feature production ready (currently it's marked as experimental in the documentation) - evaluate if there is some code that can be shared with the Sling Resource Merger [2] contains some words as well what is the difference between Superimposing and Resource Merger. stefan [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-1778 [2] https://github.com/stefanseifert/sling-superimposing
