[X] Move it into scratchpad

My opinion is to leave it where it is, because I heard too much the
argument that flow is a great thing, but javascript?!.
People already started to port the flow stuff for example to Struts, see
http://www.rollerweblogger.org/page/roller/20040327#jsp_control_flow_engine
I think the java flow thing is too important to go with it into
scratchpad. For example you could also use Groovy to implement your
flow, because Groovy also produces Java classes. 

I done a lot of afford to make it work like the javascript
implementation. So that it is only a choise, which language you
prefer.
 

Your work is really appreciated!

But I'm curious about our opinions, Stephan Michels.
 

I think we shouldn't ship Javaflow as block because this gives our user 
base the wrong impression. I'd like to see it in scratchpad and as soon 
as it is stable (community, technology) it should become part of Cocoon 
core. BTW, this is the reason why we have a separate scratchpad block!

Speaking in Cocoon 2.2 (3.0) semantics, it should be IMO (as the 
different environments, the Javascript-Flowinterpreter, ...?) in the 
middle between blocks and core.

Avoiding balkanization I'm -1 on other implementation than JS and Java 
in the Cocoon CVS. But this shouldn't prevent people to provide them or 
to provide e.g. Groovy examples somewhere else. But please not in our 
CVS ... things are complicated and messed up enough ...

Right (how I wish that we would switch to Subversion anytime soon...).

unstable.blocks.properties that Joe User *has* to read to compile such

just an idea popping up: why not reverse the default exclude.block.XXX

That is the main purpose, yes. Could be enough as a first step.

I like the idea, and it's easy to do as blocks.properties are generated 
from gump.xml.

Problem is, this means shipping with many blocks disabled. I think this 
would warrant a notice at the top of the blocks with samples page, 
something like see blocks.properties for a list of all available

Maybe just naming the block scratchpad-javaflow would do?

This would avoid the mess of adding yet more stuff to the current

Hiding anything in scratchpad does not help
anything IMO. The block is marked unstable
and this should give the right perception.
scratchpad = big mess

It's good for single classes try-outs where
a block does not make sense. But blocks are
much more structured - which is good IMO.

Deal. In any case, though, having those blocks excluded by default might 
boost us to take the unstable tag out. Right now there is little or no 
practical advantage, but just add some and you'll see us lazy butts 
start to work. :-)

IMO, this is a very much expected feature that a lot of people are 
waiting for.

It needs to be marked as experimental though, to prevent people using it 
until it's fully mature (the feedback on samples shows that a bit time 
is needed).

I have the same view, the current block intrastructure is the only way
to make the build modular. Move all things, which are unstable, in one
scratchpad-block doesn't help anyone.

I can see Carsten's POV, and understand the fear that we get too much
block during the time. But I think it's more the time to talk about
to cut the CVS repository into cocoon-blocks and cocoon-core, which
means a really small and slim core with the components, which are
nessecary for a bootstrap system.

Perhaps this time with svn ;-)

Stephan.

That seems to be more-or-less the real way to handle this: put it in a
block, but have the block not included in the build by default.  That
way, someone new to Cocoon isn't going to stumble across it by
accident.  More-over if they've got to go into the blocks.properties
file (don't see the need for an extra prosperities file?) to add the
block back into Cocoon it is easy to have a big comment very visible
that says experimental.  IOW, by forcing the user to modify the
properties file you make it obvious the block is experimental...

IMHO some kind of action is needed on this: either keep the javaflow 
block as is, move it to the scratchpad or move it somewhere else.

Stephan, I understand the public pressure and excitement prompted you
