Rohit Koushal commented on OFBIZ-9350:
--------------------------------------
Thank you [~jleroux] for taking a look. One potential solution that comes to
mind is to examine the history of the minilang file before pushing any changes
and verifying that there have not been any recent updates. Although this
process may be hectic, but it would allow us to flag and request updates to the
patch as needed.
> Deprecate Mini Lang
> -------------------

> Key: OFBIZ-9350
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-9350
> Project: OFBiz
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: ALL APPLICATIONS, ALL COMPONENTS, ALL PLUGINS
> Affects Versions: Trunk, Upcoming Branch
> Reporter: Michael Brohl
> Assignee: Nicolas Malin
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: documentation, refactoring
>
> According to the proposal thread in [1] we decided to deprecate mini lang.
> This issue tracks the next steps proposed in the aformentioned thread, namely:
> 1. create a Wiki page for the documentation and description of the migration
> process and how mini lang will be replaced.
> 2. prominently state in the Wiki that minilang will be deprecated, e.g. in [2]
> 3. put deprecation tags in the corresponding code
> 4. kindly ask contributors with open patches written in mini lang to replace
> them by Groovy code [3]
> 5. start an initiative to replace existing mini lang code with Groovy code
> where applicable. This needs some more planning and discussion which parts
> we'll like to replace with Groovy code and which parts will better be
> replaced by some kind of DSL. A good starting point can be [4][5][6].
