Hi,
somebody has already asked for the OOo NetBeans plugin that is a useful tool
for extensions developers. And it seems that there is interest to improve
the plugin and make it ready for the latest NetBeans versions. The source
code is part of the SGA but not yet available in our repo.
I have a general question. Where do we want to host such code or such sub
projects that are somewhat independent of the office code and should be kept
separately from my point of view. Means i wouldn't check in these projects
under trunk.
Instead i would propose a further svn tree where we can host such projects.
But i am not sure which name would be appropriate.
Maybe just call it "extensions" ? This could be the root for
"standard extensions" that are produced by this project. Some might
be app dev related. But we might have other standard extensions in the
future, e.g., a CMIS extension using Apache Chemistry.
i thought about "extensions" but in this particular case it is not an
extension in the classical manner. But it is a developer tool for
extensions and could be of course hosted there as well.
In this specific case it is a development tool for extension developers and
i can think of a similar tool for Eclipse in the future. How about a further
svn tree "devtools".
Another question is how we think these extensions would be released?
As part of (or in sync with) and AOO release? If so, we might want
this under the same trunk dir, so they can be easily tagged and
branched with the reset of the AOO release. But if we see these
extensions as having an independent release cycle, not tied to AOO,
then maybe they have an independent SVN tree.
I think we will not release such a dev tool with the office. We will
potentially align it if necessary and if changes in the office require
changes in the NB plugin or other potential extensions as well. But in
general we should keep this independent. It allows us more flexibility.
I would prefer a new SVN tree and if nobody raised any concerns i would
move forward with a further "extensions" tree besides "trunk".
