Hi all,
 
Thanks for pushing those ideas forward. I have created a new feature to
cover a full WebDAV implementation as an extension:
 
"Add WebDAV extension"
http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=519
I've also refocused the existing RFE to enhancements to Directory:
 
"Add minimal support for WebDAV in Directory"
http://restlet.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=346
 
I agree about limiting ourselves to one extension. Using subclasses or
connector parameters, we should be able to offer the necessary flexibility
to support specific implementations.
 
Regarding Maven, we might reconsider it for Restlet 2.0, but not in the near
future. Our build system is quite slim and optimized for our needs. We are
happy with it :-)
 
Starting with test cases sounds like a safe approach. Some pointers to
contribute:
 
"How to develop with Eclipse"
http://wiki.restlet.org/docs_1.1/g1/13-restlet/50-restlet/47-restlet.html
 
"Building from scratch with Ant"
http://wiki.restlet.org/docs_1.1/g1/13-restlet/50-restlet/107-restlet.html
 
"Coding conventions (and more)"
http://wiki.restlet.org/docs_1.1/g1/13-restlet/50-restlet/51-restlet.html
Best regards,
Jerome

I would strongly argue against going quite *that* far.  Restlet is already
suffering from some extension proliferation, as evidenced by the list
receiving a growing number of support inquiries from people trying to
understand which of the many extension JARs they must include (and which
they must exclude) to make something work the way they expect. 

It would be very extreme to have potentially dozens of new Restlet
extensions, each of which effectively supplies only a few lines of code for
WebDAV interoperability with a specific given client, each one packaged to
its own JAR and requiring service discovery. 

I don't think basic web folder integration should be put in an extension at
all, because it doesn't depend on anything external, it's trivial in size,
and there's no reason to make Restlet users jump extra hurdles if they want
to use it.  But if the consensus is that it should go in an extension, I'm
fine with that.  Just not a dozen extensions, please.

For compatibility problems, it would be better to not develop specificities
in the "standard WebDAV" extension, but rather in other extensions.

For example :
- com.restlet.ext.webdav.mswebfolder
- com.restlet.ext.webdav.webdrive
- etc.
