Hi Paul! You could easily make such a tool by using the available XML-RPC API.
Just use these the jars in the org.xwiki.eclipse.xmlrpc package from XEclipse ( http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/xeclipse/trunk/plugins/org.xwiki.eclipse.xmlrpc/ ). For an example of using the XML-RPC API, you could look at the RemoteXWikiDataStorage.java file at http://svn.xwiki.org/svnroot/xwiki/xeclipse/trunk/plugins/org.xwiki.eclipse.core/src/main/java/org/xwiki/eclipse/core/storage/RemoteXWikiDataStorage.java Of course, you do have the http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/XMLRPC link which you should check out, but I think that if you are already a bit familiar with XEclipse, you might find that the Java file I specified offers more specific examples of handling content. Let us know how it turns out. :) Paul Libbrecht wrote: > Hello fellow developers, > > The usage of a bunch of command-line tools for checking-out the (XML > of) xwiki pages and checking them in would be really useful. > > The xar approach is not really practical: there's no merge, it's > problematic when it gets big, and it still doesn't have a command-line > to integrate within a build-flow. > > I am convinced it would be easy, for example, to use the XEclipse code > to make checkout, update, and checkin ant-tasks or command-line tools. > > Did anyone try? > > thanks in advance > > paul > ------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > _______________________________________________ > devs mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs > _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
