+1 from me too, and I would aim for the 1.3 release with this.

it will ease support burdens. Are you targetting 1.3 for this change?

Hey there,
(disclaimer: I am aware that I may get some heat with the following proposal.
However, I still think it's valid to give this a little room for discussion.)
When shifting views from development to operations, it becomes apparent that
our code setup is targeted at developers, and in principle, there's nothing
wrong with that, especially given that we have been mostly developing for the
past 3 years. However, now that the number of prototype and pilot installations
is starting to grow, all the little things that you need to keep in mind when
you want to do a non-developer setup is hindering our overall success.
For this reason, I am going to propose a couple of ideas over the next few days
and weeks, and hope that they will be considered with the goal to ease
adoption, even though it may add a little more setup work for developers here
and there. Overall, a developer will most likely be more patient setting this
up than a potential adopter.
So here is my first proposal:
I am proposing to remove the capure agent impl from the default Maven build
profile. The reason is twofold:
First of all, more and more institutions are buying dedicated Matterhorn
hardware to do their piloting / prototyping. I would much rather add
documentation to the wiki on how to install a fake capture agent than having to
explain to people why in their logs they see a capture agent (that they did not
install) failing to push its capabilities and complaining about non-existing
scheduling data every couple of seconds.
The second reason is that on many backend machines, there are unit test
failures (e. g. AudioMonitoringConsumerTest) that present a road block for
quite some people on their very first install.
A Maven profile "capture" already exists, so the change we would make is to set its
"activeByDefault" property to "false", and developers working on the capture agent would need to
change their mvn commandline to include "-Pcapture".
I am looking forward to your comments!
Tobias
