If you are working with Turbine-3, which I happened to write, then Plexus and more specifically Summit will be useful. Summit is another refactoring of Turbine-3 and fully written with components. Everything is pluggable so you can overcome problems like the hardwired security mechanism and the hard-wired action mechanism in Turbine. For example Dan uses one flavour of an action manager and I use on based on Werkflow and Drools. You can pretty much poke in what you like. We're currently focusing on test coverage for Plexus and it will soon be ~100% and this is important as it will be what Maven 2.x is based on. There is still lots more refactoring and I'm currently working with the Loom (the fork of Avalon Phoenix) folks to make components work in both containers and I have also been looking at Pico. You can already run multiple flavours of components in Plexus so support for Loom/Pico components is only a matter of time. > > > Regards > Jiaqi Guo > > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://cyclops-group.sourceforge.net > > -----Original Message----- > From: Stephen McConnell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 7:25 PM > To: Maven Users List > Subject: Re: Seriously Customizing the Project Website > > > > jiaqi guo wrote: > > >My site is another sample of using customized site.jsl. > >http://cyclops-group.sourceforge.net > > > > > > I like the stuff your doing with Tornado - have been thinking how to do > something similar under Avalon with respect to a server side service > brokerage facility leveraging Turbine. > > Stephen. > > > > >Regards > >Jiaqi Guo > > > >[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >http://cyclops-group.sourceforge.net > > > >-----Original Message----- > >From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2003 4:33 PM > >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > >Subject: RE: Seriously Customizing the Project Website > > > >Thanks a million.
