Hi,
I think it would be useful to package java in our M2 binary
distro. I would like to hear your opinions:
I'd say as a separate downloadable jar since this would only be
relevant to extensions providers and not applications developers.
The spec API and tuscany-api are relevant to application developers
and extension developers.
The spec API jars are obviously relevant, tuscany api much less so
(hopefully applications developers would not use these very much, if
at all)
tuscany-spi is relevant only to extension
developers but as you said in earlier posts, these are an important
segment of the audience for M2.
Yes and that's why I believe we should bundle them separately. I
generally prefer not to download javadoc at all on my machine for two
reasons. One is I typically access it online. The second is if I use
it a lot, I also want the source. So, I download the source and setup
my IDE appropriately; it can display javadoc directly from the source.
For simplicity I think it is better
to bundle all of these in the standalone distro rather than create
many separate downloadable packages.
It would probably be informative to look at how other similar
projects manage distributions. Spring for instance has a baseline
distro without Javadoc or optional dependencies, i.e. something
similar to our core distribution.
I don't want to belabor the point, however, as I think we have
different philosophical views on what is easier, a single large
distribution that one must modify to create runtime and dev images or
smaller units that people can deal with individually.
Perhaps we should just have both? If we want to have both, could you
please respond to Jeremy's previous post in this thread with a
proposal on how to resolve the issues he raised?

Also this would match how
javadoc is packaged in SDO M2.
1) What modules should we generate javadoc? I assume only for *-
api and *-spi.
yes. Core is not an exposed api/spi.
Agreed.
2) Should we package the javadoc with the standalone distro or as
a separate archive?
separate archive
Combined (see reasons above).
Thanks,
Raymond
