Talking of contributors, there was a request from Hyderabad JUG where I had presented recently to get involved in JavaFX Modeler development. I'll start a separate thread on it. > The general organization of the project is in OK shape currently, although I > expect more refactoring over time. None of this prevents it from being developed at Apache. We don't have to officially release it, but I think having the code right here and usign the dev@ list to discuss features would help. > Why are you thinking a separate Git repository? Cayenne build system is crumbling under its weight (remember the whole Travis effort). I'd like to put a stop on it. Bootique project is a good case study - we develop each "subsystem" in a separate repo, still release them together. This requires an operational CI (that we already have in Cayenne) to ensure smooth integration, but allows to work on modules in isolation. (Kind of like you do now, only at Apache :)) > What would a Bootique launcher entail? Just launching it from Bootique or > other Bootique things inside the modeler? Bootique will provide the launcher, but will also provide injection (Guice) and modularity system. Remember we had a discussion of modeler plugins like 10 years ago. We'll get that for free with Bootique. E.g. you'll be able to "contribute" menu items from user extensions, etc. Also I hope it will assist in Swing migration, as we can cleanly abstract the "service layer", meaning we can evolve common services for both front-ends.
