Hi cactus committers,
As every day goes by, I am more and more excited about Cactus v2 (see
http://blogs.codehaus.org/people/vmassol/archives/ 000520_cactus_v2_archi
tecture_proposal.html). I'd like to start pumping some cactus v2 code.
Before going on, I'd like to know what you think about Cactus v2 and to decide on how we progress. I believe we have several options:
1/ create a jakarta-cactus/sandbox/cactus2 directory and write cactus v2
code in there
2/ request the creation of a jakarta-cactus2 CVS module (It will still
be under the umbrella of the Cactus project - it's not the creation of a
new project).
I personally much prefer solution 2/ as it is cleaner (and it works better with Eclipse projects too).
I don't see the advantage of a separate CVS module at this stage. I'd much prefer the code being bootstrapped in a scratchpad area of our current CVS module. When the code is working and we (the Cactus community) agree that the proposed architecture is the way to go for V2, a fresh CVS module would be nice.
-1 to a jakarta-cactus2 CVS module at this point in time. +1 to jakarta-cactus/scratchpad/cactus2
When the new code is ready to be promoted out of the scratchpad, we might also want to consider starting the new repository in SVN.
<http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/?root=Apache-SVN>
We have also the option to request the creation of a [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list. If not, then all traffic will go to the existing cactus-dev ML. I also prefer to request the creation of such a list.
Strong -1 against a new mailing list. Really, our current dev list is rather low-traffic, we can definitely handle any extra traffic caused by the new aspect-based cactus. On the negative side, a new mailing list effectively splits the community, and may raise oversight concerns.
Just keep everything on this mailing-list, I'm sure everyone is interested (I am, at least) :-)
I'm also curious to know how many of you are interested in participating
to Cactus 2 (or is it too early at this stage for you to know)? I've
been talking to Jonas Boner (AspectWerkz author) and Chad Woolley
(VirtualMock author) and I'd like to invite them to participate to the
Cactus2 project if they're interested (it will be easier to do if we
have separate jakarta-cactus2 CVS module I think).
Anyway, I'm interested in any feedback you have!
Please provide feedback on the proposed Cactus2 architecture. I'd like to put this doc in the new cactus2 CVS location so that everyone can help and it'll be easier to follow changes to it.
I'm very interested, but not sure I can be of much help. Besides time constraints, I'm also (still!) new to aspect-oriented programming. The document you wrote up definitely sounds cool, though.
For documentation, I'd suggest we start in the Wiki (wiki.apache.org, the new, moin-moin based one). A Wiki is probably a better fit for documenting ideas that are still in a rather early stage.
