Yes it’s pretty look and is almost exactly what I meant (there’s just a problem 
with the username/password which should be done differently - either ask for 
them or use something like 
https://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-encryption.html and get them from 
settings.xml ;)). It’s providing the “pull” part from what I see. We would need 
to add the “push” part to deploy changes done in the filesystem.

@Sergiu: do you think a PR could be proposed for this? :)

Thanks a lot
-Vincent

Sounds like you want this:

In Eclipse you have
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/DebugXWikiWithEclipse.
This is also pre-configured in
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Onboarding/VM/Ubuntu/Eclipse/.

For XAR dev I’d really like to have a “mvn xar:push” and “mvn xar:pull” mojos 
to sync your XML with an XWiki instance.

We could imagine something similar for template files.

Thanks

On my side I like to use a diff tool to compare the templates of my running
instance to the corresponding folder in my source files. For example, with
the tool "meld", I do:

meld ~/xwiki/instance/webapps/xwiki/templates/
~/xwiki/platform/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-web/src/main/webapp/templates/

Or, for flamingo:

meld ~/xwiki/instance/webapps/xwiki/skins/flamingo/
~/xwiki/platform/xwiki-platform-core/xwiki-platform-flamingo/xwiki-platform-flamingo-skin/xwiki-platform-flamingo-skin-resources/src/main/resources/flamingo

On my computer, I have created bash aliases for these 2 commands so I can
start a diff very quickly.

Then, it's very easy to see which files has changed, and I can copy them to
the sources directory with a single click.

I hope it helps,

Thanks

[xwiki-devs] Onboarding feedback

[Adel Atallah]

Hello everyone,

I've been following the onboarding tracks 1 and 2 on the past days, here is
what I can say:
The first track really helped me to get started in XWiki contributions as I
could easily pick a jira issue to work on. The issue description was clear
even though we had to discuss it on the chat. Speaking of the chat, it has
been a very valuable tool, people have been very responsive and I was
rarely stuck. I found the development practice a bit inconvenient at first,
having to make changes in the vm files of my XWiki instance and then report
the changes to the sources. I would have love to see a way to link my
source files (especially for vm/js/css files) with the one of my XWiki
instance to avoid errors when I copy past my changes (and get benefit of my
git ecosystem).
The second track is a good introduction to some XWiki concepts, I don't
have much to say for this one. A link to a real application could maybe
give a better understanding.

Thanks again for the help I had!
