I have recently been working on migrating a qooxdoo 0.7 web application to
the 0.8 framework. I've reached the point where I have most of the
components transferred using an 0.8 sandbox, and I wanted to convert the
main application. I've been reading a lot about the new build system, but I
can't seem to get it to do what I want it to do. I expect that I'm missing
something simple, and someone who knows the system better than I do can
answer these questions very quickly. At the moment, I feel like there's a
gap in the documentation specifically in this wiki page:
http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/0.8/migration_makefile
It is linked to from the 0.7 migration guide, but the page is currently
empty. I'm specifically interested in how to migrate the old makefile
settings APPLICATION_BUILD_PATH, APPLICATION_SOURCE_PATH,
APPLICATION_HTML_TO_ROOT_URI, and APPLICATION_PUBLISH_PATH. I think I have
found these settings referenced on this page:
http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/0.8/generator_config_ref

I suspect that I am specifying these settings properly (from the old
makefile), but in the wrong node or level in the JSON. It isn't clear to me
from the examples in the config key reference listing where these settings
should sit in the JSON object to be processed. When I run the generate
script, it always produces the same output, even when I put intentionally
wrong data into the settings. Is it possible to have the generate script
give me a warning when it detects a JSON property that is not going to
affect the resulting build? If I had that feedback, I would at least know
that I had put my settings in the wrong place, rather than a silent error.

I'm sorry if I'm missing something obvious here, but I've spent a lot of
time looking over the config key reference and the generator config file
wiki pages, and I just don't grok the new system. I can certainly provide
specifics about where the files exist if anyone is interested.

Thanks,
-Dan
