I have an idea for something that ought to be fairly straightforward for a student to implement, but would have far-reaching implications for DSpace development, and would even help with REST-API testing. Now, it's not a novel idea or anything, but, I think we should incorporate a Maven Jetty plugin, to a) help ease the development and debugging learning curve and b) provide a natural path to tread for using a DSpace REST-API as part of another project (such as Hydra). In other words, incorporating the Maven Jetty plugin could let us provide instructions such as:
Running DSpace $ mvn install $ cd dspace $ MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx512m" mvn jetty:run $ curl "http://localhost:8080/rest/describe"; (shamelessly adapted from https://github.com/futures/fcrepo4/tree/merritt) Thoughts? As a Maven plugin, it really wouldn't take much to do, the project would mostly be playing around with the plugin and documenting what you can do. -- HARDY POTTINGER <[email protected]> University of Missouri Library Systems http://lso.umsystem.edu/~pottingerhj/ https://MOspace.umsystem.edu/ "To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work." --Mary Oliver On 2/12/13 12:47 PM, "Peter Dietz" <[email protected]> wrote: >Perhaps if we had more wood behind fewer arrows.
