Since Extension Manager as an module to install/manage extension in your application and XWiki Repository as a platform to distribute extensions are very different technically and are starting to be pretty big Marius and me decided to separated them in two different modules. The main link between them is that Extension Manager has a handler for this kind of repositories exactly like it has one for maven repositories (and more later). It makes easier to manage them separately in UI tests, Jira,etc. > > Note1: Its description in pom.xml is pretty vague: > <description>XWiki Commons - Repository</description> > In commons-repository-api it's even worse: > <description>Contains commons stuff to use in a a client or a server > implementation</description> > > Note2: On http://commons.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/WebHome it's not > described either, nor on e.x.o I just finished the refactoring on git yesterday... > > Thanks > -Vincent > > _______________________________________________ > devs mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs -- Thomas Mortagne _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
