Great. I will enter it and assign it to you. >- a Color Utility class to transform/check/simulate them , as >discussed via mail previous days ... Sounds like it could be valuable. When you have something ready, why don't you send it around for review. >- a simple XMLSerializer is missing, could we plan it ? Ha. I've actually tried to implement such a serializer several times, and have come to the conclusion that there is no such thing as a "simple XML serializer". WTKX is the closest I could get to it. But maybe you are thinking of something different. What would such a serializer do? What type of data would it read/write? An org.w3c.dom.Document? >- move projects layout to a more common standard, like that used in >Maven for libraries (jar) projects, so for example throw -test >projects moving their code inside the related project, in the test >directory ... ok this maybe for 2.x So, we'd have a test subdirectory under each project that would contain source code? e.g: wtk/src/... contains source for WTK classes wtk/test/... contains source for WTK test classes >- enable maven builds for pivot sources, this could simplify all the >tests with various Servers ... Maven support is being actively discussed. >- add a experimental sub-project (/src , /test, etc) where to put >experimental code (proof-of-concept, less tested, etc) ... and maybe >non-standard library dependencies I'm not sure about an "experimental" project, but I would like to discuss alternatives to our current approach to handling external dependencies (i.e. libraries that don't come with the JDK). Currently, we store them in SVN under in project-specific /lib directories - is there a better way? >- ensure compatibility with headless mode for pivot classes, at least >the core classes >- then for example see if it's possible to run pivot applications in a >headless server to do some work, generate an offscreen bitmap and >use/save it, for documentation purposes, graphics generation, etc ... This may be more of an AWT discussion than anything specific to Pivot, but try it out and see how it works. Todd has done some work with WTK on the server and may have more to offer on this subject. >To propose this type of things, is it better to discuss via mail, and >later on JIRA I think, right ? Yes.
