Daniel Johansson commented on JSPWIKI-651:
------------------------------------------
Fair enough, the main reason I brought this up was that I was looking at the
current ant build script as I was trying to set up my development machine and I
couldn't really figure out how to easily start the wiki up after compiling so I
rewrote the war build target to copy all the content that's supposed to go into
the war file into the build/war directory, then I added a context file for the
wiki in my tomcat setup so now I can just build it and start tomcat without
having to copy/extract the war file.
There might be an easier way which I'm not aware of, the documentation said
something about a build target called opened-war which doesn't exist.
One idea I had in mind was, why not try to integrate Jetty into the war file so
you could run the war file using a main class that starts up the Jetty server
and deploys the content for you. Maven has a plugin for this which is really
nice.
I would be willing to maintain something like this however if another build
system is preferred by the developers then Maven would be a step in the wrong
direction.
On another note, I've not looked into Ivy that much (yet), but I shall have a
look at it.
I just think the development phase needs to be simpler for the developer unless
you could point me in the right direction on where I can find information on
how to run the wiki locally and debug the source, I might just have missed this
somewhere. Thanks.
