Hi Qooxdoo team, I'm making quite good progress in porting the Jspresso framework to Qooxdoo. I'm almost 100% done with it but now comes the "hard" part (couldn't guess it at first sight) : the Maven build integration ;-)
I'm almost done with configuring the Qooxdoo toolchain (manifest + config) for eating a more standard maven project layout (e.g. src/main/js, src/main/resources, target/, ...) and the next step constists in allowing the developer to do as little manual setup as possible on the build machine. I dropped the idea of running the build with Jython since I could'nt get it right (the "maximum recursion depth" problem). So I made my mind on using a normal python interpreter so this one will have to be manually installed if not already there (M$...). So far, so good. The question is now to have the java RPC backend packaged and deployed as a Maven artifact (a jar containing the compiled classes) for later inclusion as a dependency in the Maven built WAR. I can manage to build the JAR from the contrib source code and my proposition is to host the resulting unmodified archive into the Jspresso Maven repository so that it gets publicly accessible to the build. I think that the license allows it but I would like to hear that you don't have any objection against it. Same goes for the Qooxdoo framework and toolchain. The idea I have is to make a "light" zip archive of Qooxdoo that would only contain the framework JS files + resources + python toolchain (I would mainly get rid of the "application" and "component" directories). Then again, I could host it into the Jspresso Maven repository so that it would get automatically downloaded, unpacked and used during the build of a Jspresso application. Of course this Qooxdoo artifact will be versioned (0.8.2, 0.8-SNAPHOT, ...) so that a target application build can run against a predefined Qooxdoo release depending on what has been declared into the project POM file. Same question than before : any objection / licensing issue against it ? If you don't see any showstopper for both points, I think I can manage to seamlessly integrate the Qooxdoo build into the Jspresso Maven build with only python as a requirement. Of course, all licensing, IP, site reference informations would be retained in both deployed artifacts.
