Hello fellow XWikiers, I am regularly working with my favorite IDE, IntelliJ IDEA, and it is doing a very good work for me to edit velocity and groovy. I am using this also for the source of wiki pages which I upload using a tiny upload script (that posts like a form using curl and simple preemptive authentication, [1]).
The interest of storing page-sources as files is that you get all the IDE services (it could work with most IDEs) such as auto-completion, code-usage-tracking, or html and javascript validation. The other interest is that my source files enter versioning. I can commit these so that I and other developers know it's part of the build for the future, independently of my server upload and developer readable in versioning system. Thus far I've been using wiki/src/main/pages/<spaceName>/<pageName>.vm (or .grv, .properties, ...). There's a single issue I stumble across: for IntelliJ to do me classpath resolution (e.g. recognize an import for the Context class), I need to change the maven project type from xar to jar. And this is not so good. My next step would thus be to create a new sub-project, xwikipages, containing these pages... but maybe everything is wrong here. My questions: • how much of that is good or best practice? • what do others use as IDE-exploitation for XWiki-pages? (XEclipse and the Git xwiki-application?) • is anyone else interested into sharing such a practice and enhance it commonly? thanks in advance Paul [1] upload-to-wiki can be found in https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/xwiki-clams-core/tree/master/tools/src/main/java/org/curriki/tools/dev/ _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
