Hello Gabriel, That could work as a fouth option, that way I can bundle the resources into a JAR…
Thanks Gabriel, I’ll try it out. Jim Grorffen.

The problem is GeoServer grabs the JAR’s for GeoWebCache but any static HTML files were copied and duplicated between the projects. This was OK when it was only a couple of HTML files that weren’t going to change much, but now the UI improvements are a much larger code base. There are only about 5 new js and HTML files with a few CSS and images, but ExtJS 4 is bundled with it as well. I’ve had a go at an approach where GeoServer can grab the static HTML client files through maven dependencies using the WAR merging technique where maven will merge one war into another during the build. This has a limitation though for the GeoWebCache project: it interferes with eclipse debugging because the static html resources aren't in the same web project anymore so they aren't available at runtime. I could probably tweak the project settings in eclipse to add the static resource path but that means there is a custom dev environment setup step beyond mvn eclipse:eclipse - which I don't want. So at the moment I can only think of the following options: 1: Duplicate client code in GeoServer - not so good as there will be checked-in code that shouldn't be changed in the GeoServer code base - because it's in the GeoWebCache code base. 2: GeoServer doesn't get the new HTML client improvements. It does get the REST interface improvements and can create jobs as that's part of the original UI that's embedded in the JAR's. It could also be added to a GeoServer install easily, or installed separately and pointed at it. 3: Separate out the HTML client into its own project. It could operate as a standalone client – it’s been designed to only interact with GWC through the REST interface. This is almost the case now as the separated HTML code on my local box is in a separate project under the GWC project and builds its own WAR (probably should be a zip instead I guess... there is no Java webapp component in it) - the GeoWebCache WAR would still build with the client integrated but you'd need to manually plug it in for debugging. 4: Someone out there knows MVN better than me and knows how to tweak it so everyone wins. Is there a way to handle this that the GeoServer community would prefer / accept or maybe a suggestion that would be better? Maybe you guys don’t really want the improved client code only the improved REST bits so option 2 is better? At this point it’s looking like option 3 is the best one if we can’t come up with an option 4. Regards, Jim Groffen.
