> 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.
