Hi All,
just reading the blocks.properties file and I see there are a lot of
dependencies among the blocks. It's hard to find out what blocks to
build if I want to do a minimal build for using a specific block.
Isn't it possible to create some sort of xml-file
"block-dependencies.xml" that lists all dependencies. That way a
stylesheet could be created that generates some sort of visual
representation (e.g. in SVG). E.g. :
<blockdependencies>
<block name="databases">
<dependency>xsp</dependency>
</block>
<block name="hsqldb">
<dependency>databases</dependency>
</block>
<block name="jms">
<dependency>databases</dependency>
<dependency>hsqldb</dependency>
</block>
<block name="ojb">
<dependency>databases</dependency>
<dependency>hsqldb</dependency>
</block>
<block name="petstore">
<dependency>hsqldb</dependency>
</block>
</blockdependencies>
block management will change over the next months significantly
(http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/Blocks). This will also have a great impact on
the block building and distribution
(http://wiki.apache.org/cocoon/BlockManagement). I know this doesn't help you
now but we know about it and are working on a solution.
