Yes, that's basically the idea. How much such "extensions" will be actually implemented (and by who) is another question of course. There are at least 3 that surely should be done and should be managed under the umbrella of the official FreeMarker project: - freemaker-xml: Traverse/query W3C DOM (XML) trees dropped into the data-model. That's freemarker.ext.dom in FM2. FM3 is certainly not releasable if it's not ready. - freemarker-servlet: Servlet integration (i.e., FreemarkerServlet) - freemarker-jsp: JSP custom tag integration But of course, first the freemarker-core has to be done... (Speaking of "nashorn-freemarker" (or rather, freemarker-nashorn?), a perhaps interesting fact: One of the two main developers of FM2, Attila, was one of the developers of Nashorn at Oracle. AFAIK he did most of the interaction between the JavaScript and Java word... pretty hard core stuff.) > Regards, > > > > 2017-01-12 11:50 GMT-03:00 Daniel Dekany <ddek...@freemail.hu>: > >> The question here meant to be if we can *totally* get rid of those in >> the subject in FM3. >> >> Otherwise, yes, there's a consensus regarding the modularity thing, >> i.e., to have a quite minimal core (whether we call that >> o.a.f:freemarker or o.a.f:freemarker-core, not decided yet) and then >> additional modules like o.a.f:freemarker-servlet. >> >> >> Thursday, January 12, 2017, 3:10:36 PM, Mauricio Nuñez wrote: >> >> > Hi, >> > >> > I agree with a minimal FM3 core and 3rd party dependencies/integrations >> in >> > extra modules.
