Perfectly fine, as an incubating project with a small community we have just this list for now. > ...1.

I don't think we have a roadmap in terms of months - some of us would like Atom and APP to happen, but I don't think any committer has an urgent need for that, so that would rather happen when it happens. It's more a (very) nice to have than a requirement for me at the moment, and I guess for other Sling people as well. But if you need this and are willing to contribute, I'm sure we'd find some cycles to test and integrate it. > ...2.

If you want to embed the Abdera code in your bundle, you need a Private-Package statement in the pom, in addition to your dependency statements which look ok. See for example how the scripting/javascript/pom.xml embeds the rhino dependency using <Private-Package> org.apache.sling.scripting.javascript.*, org.mozilla.classfile, !org.mozilla.javascript.xml.impl.xmlbeans, org.mozilla.javascript.* </Private-Package> This will embed the corresponding classes in the bundle jar, that's easy to check. Embed-Dependency should work as well, but I haven't tried that yet. > ...3.

Yes, there's a mix between factories and single configs in the list (which IIUC has been fixed in the Apache Felix console now), and the as-yet-undocumented granular logging features of SLING-526 explain the rest. > ..4. When setting "Sling Logging Logger Configuration" to debug, the > [Repository Pinger] fills up the log. Is there an easy way to shut it up?.. Yes, fix SLING-505 ;-) Seriously, I just tried today to use Chainsaw (http://logging.apache.org/chainsaw/index.html) to filter out the logs, and that works quite nicely. I configured Chainsaw to read my Sling log file directly, see below, a socket would be faster but I haven't had time to explore that yet. > ...and by the way, keep the direction you're heading to with Sling: I like > it!... Thanks! -Bertrand Experimental Chainsaw config to read the Sling log. To use this, change the log file path inside, configure the Sling logger to output only LEVEL LOGGER MESSAGE at the debug level, and open this file when starting Chainsaw, Reading the Sling log file is just a hack for now, the proper way would be to add remote socket logging capabilities to Sling. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> <!DOCTYPE log4j:configuration > <log4j:configuration xmlns:log4j="http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/"; debug="true"> <appender name="A2" class="org.apache.log4j.ConsoleAppender"> <layout class="org.apache.log4j.SimpleLayout"/> </appender> <plugin name="SocketReceiver" class="org.apache.log4j.net.SocketReceiver"> <param name="Port" value="8090"/> </plugin> <plugin name="LogFileReceiver" class="org.apache.log4j.varia.LogFilePatternReceiver"> <param name="fileURL" value="file:///FULL_PATH_TO_/sling/launchpad/testing/target/sling/logs/error.log"/> <param name="timestampFormat" value="yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss,SSS"/> <param name="logFormat" value="LEVEL LOGGER MESSAGE"/> <param name="name" value="sampleLogFileReceiver"/> <param name="tailing" value="true"/> </plugin> <root> <level value="debug"/> </root> </log4j:configuration>
