Well, I finished my little present for you guys just in time (about an hour ago). Ladies and gentleman:
...we have auto-compiling javaflow!
Yummy :-)
My idea was to build a little nikolaus-flow application. ...but time did run out and I still want to polish some things before I commit it to 2.1. ...but since I am excited I wanted to share it with you guys.
I factored out the javaflow into a separate project that hopefully will find some friends over in the jakarta commons sandbox. ...same goes for the fully- no-worries-ASL-licensed compiling classloader.
If someone really really bugs be I might be able to put a first zipped version online somewhere. Otherwise you will have to wait until I have a few spare minutes and the commit messages gives notice.
As for the changes:
The CompilingClassLoader now hooks in through the ParanoidServlet. It watches a repository for changes and compiles the classes accordingly.
Does this mean we could theoretically have e.g. WEB-INF/src with all webapp source files and have them automagically compiled on the fly (including Cocoon itself)?
Thanks for the gift!
