Hi Ramsey,

thanks for your effort to keep WOnder up to date.


I'll put ERJGroupsSynchronizer  on my wish list.


regards

Hi everyone,

I've just pushed some work I've been doing on project wonder to a wonder8 
branch on github. There are about two dozen frameworks that I have building. 
I'm trying to whittle down the number of frameworks we keep to ones people are 
actually using. There's a lot to digest, but some highlights.

* It's modular and builds with java 25.

* The SimpleWOApp project (vanilla webobjects hello world) can be compiled into 
a jlinked java application. The resulting .zip file is 27MBs in size, which is 
nice. That's a full WOApp with a full bundled JRE all in one.

* It's still fluffy bunny, not just for legacy reasons. WO Resources really are 
not like src/main/resources. This difference becomes clearly apparent when 
attempting to modularize WO.

* I've tried to keep all the existing Wonder EOAdaptors, but I'm going to need 
some help on Frontbase. It uses package private methods to work, but can no 
longer live in com.webobjects.jdbcadaptor package because of split packages.

* Wonder8 builds with plain vanilla maven. The is no wolifecycle plugin needed 
to build frameworks or applications now.

* WOOgnl is gone. If Hugi wants to bring in Parsley as a replacement that's 
certainly welcome.

* I'll probably bring in my R2D2W framework to wonder.

In the next few weeks, I'm going to try to get wopatches pushed to maven 
central, and put together some instructions about building womodular locally 
for wonder8 to depend on. Once that is done, I'll probably create some maven 
archetypes and put those up on central as well.

The full list of wonder8 frameworks currently is the following. If you see one 
missing that you use, speak up.

Ajax
DB2PlugIn
DerbyPlugIn
ERAttachment
ERCoolComponents
ERDirectToWeb
ERExtensions
ERJavaMail
ERMicrosoftPlugIn
ERModernDefaultSkin
ERModernDirectToWeb
ERModernLook
ERNeutralLook
EROraclePlugIn
ERPersistentSessionStorage
ERPrototypes
ERRest
FrontBasePlugIn*
H2PlugIn
JavaMemoryAdaptor
JavaWOExtensions
MySQLPlugIn
PostgresqlPlugIn
WOLips

Obviously nothing is set in stone. That's why I wanted to send this email, to 
open it up to a broader discussion.

Ramsey
