We have been using a very simple post method that allows two things: - keep the source code files as source, e.g. a velocity file is a .vm file - a command called uploadPages (made of mostly curl and a bit of groovy)
I use IntelliJ with a bit "well-informed-classes" to edit both groovy and velocity files and upload with uploadPages. See http://svn.activemath.org/intergeo/Platform/bin/ to get uploadPages and uploadPages.grv. The big advantage of keeping the source files source is that they are svn-shared as is, so they merge well, and are edited with luxury (e.g. auto-complete on variable names, properties uniqueness check, evil velocity syntax catches, not yet wiki syntax protection indeed!). I feel uploadPages should be turned into some simple ant tasks, I just didn't find the time to do it. I would also love that this would apply to any document-information, thus far it's just the page content in english. Direct page preview of the page being edited, as XEclipse always does, is too minimalistic to my taste: I always test some derivative of the code I edit (e.g. I edit a groovy class and test a vm page that uses the groovy as tool, or I test things with parameters...). paul Le 27-déc.-09 à 10:16, Vincent Massol a écrit : > Hi Andreas, > > On Dec 27, 2009, at 1:16 AM, Andreas Schaefer wrote: > >> Hi >> >> For the development of the Groovy based Blog I just developed the >> code in IntelliJ, copied inside a browser and eventually exported >> the content into a XAR file.
