I was curious to have a look at the new features in Roller 5.0 compared
to 4.0.1, so I checked out from trunk (r912111) and gave it a try.
I used the Maven build, unpacked the binary assembly into my Tomcat 6.
The build worked without problems and I could start Roller, but the menu
tabs on the "Create Entry" were missing.
The reason is that the resources from the weblogger-web module do not
get copied and packaged.
Some XML resources are stored in src/main/java and should be moved to
src/main/resources. As a workaround, I simply told Maven to pick them up
from the source folder by adding the following to the POM:
<resource>
<directory>src/main/java</directory>
<filtering>false</filtering>
<excludes>
<exclude>**/*.java</exclude>
</excludes>
</resource>
There is another build issue that Maven did not complain about, but
Eclipse did when I loaded the project into a workspace:
The source file for org.apache.roller.weblogger.WebloggerException is
stored in weblogger-business/src/main/java/org/, it should be moved to
weblogger-business/src/main/java/org/apache/roller/weblogger.
Finally, what is the status of media file management? Is this sort of
complete and only currently broken or are there major gaps?
At any rate, it does not seem to work at the moment.
MediaFileImageChooser.jsp has missing closing braces on
%{#mediaFile.permalink} and %{#mediaFile.thumbnailURL}. Unfortunately,
after adding the braces, things are still broken.
The Media File Chooser displays a box with an image name, but no image
thumbnail. After choosing an image, the URL inserted into the weblog
entry is incorrect:
http://localhost:8080/roller/http://localhost:8080/roller/myblog/mediaresource/uuid
