Here is a short list of things off the top of my head...
1. !Lowest-hanging fruit!: no DTD for the block.xml -- many of my
problems could have been avoided by having this. I use IDEAJ which
gives intelli-sense options when the DOCTYPE is included with xml.
2. Confused by the xtype files produced by ant MetaTask when all
documentation and tutorials discuss xinfo files.
3. The website does not yet include a description of how the repository
directory is to be used. I think it is modeled after Maven is it
not? This might be good to know. Mostly, I had to build and run
the tutorial to understand even a little. I would like it to make
more sense just through reading.
4. I don't understand the order of importance when packaging a JAR that
is placed in the repository directory. The relationships between
the xtype, xservice, xconfig, xprofile, and block.xml is not clear,
epecially when another block establishes its engine classloader with
this JAR as a repository resource, has a dependency that this
packaged block provides as a service, and would like to override the
configuration via the CLI option -config! (You confused yet?)
5. I would like to be able to control the logging priority of my
components but have not yet figured out how to change this. The
tutorials nor the website demonstrate this -- whereas there are
examples of using -debug to show kernel debug output.
I would be happy to continue to assemble my questions and put them on
the wiki if appropriate.
