Dominik Süß commented on SLING-9725:
------------------------------------
[~cziegeler] there are multiple cases - one is to refer to multiple files and
have multiple repoinit sections aggregated, the other one is that one file
might be shared accross multiple feature files in the same folder (or
permutations of the same). the later should already be covered, for the former
it probably would be necessary to allow an aggregation list of file references.
> Better support for text extensions
> ----------------------------------
>
> Key: SLING-9725
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-9725
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Feature Model, Maven Plugins and Archetypes
> Reporter: Carsten Ziegeler
> Priority: Major
>
> The feature model allows extensions in text format, the most used right now
> is the repoinit extension which is a script in DSL. Writing this in the
> feature model json format is not user friendly as json properties do not
> support newlines. We made this a little bit easier with allowing an array of
> strings instead, but still not user friendly.
> We can provide better support for maven based projects by enhancing the maven
> plugin.
> If an extension of type text is specified in the feature model with the value
> "@file", the plugin looks for a file in the same directory as the feature
> model. The file must have the same name as the feature file followed by a
> dash and the name of the extension.
> For example:
> Feature file: src/main/features/myfeature.json
> Repoinit : src/main/features/myfeature-repoinit.txt
> (Regarding SLING-9721 it might make sense to support different extensions for
> the file than txt, so we could enhance this and allow that the "classifier
> and extension is specified by the @file like @file:xssapi.xml which then
> would look for a file name src/main/features/myfeature-xssapi.xml - but @file
> should work as well)
> The JSON format of a feature is not changed / enhanced - we just make
> authoring in maven projects easier.
