Re: Sling FM Starter Module

2019-11-25 Thread Andreas Schaefer
Hi

I started to work on a Goal in the Sling Feature Maven Plugin to create and 
install plain slingosgifeature files into the local Maven repo.

This is what I added to a bundle:


org.apache.sling
slingfeature-maven-plugin
${slingfeature-maven-plugin.version}
true


analyze
package

create-fm-descriptor





This will create the an FM descriptor and place it into my local Maven repo.

In my launcher module I used the Convert PM to FM to convert Sling and then add 
the bundle FM descriptor this way:


org.apache.sling
slingfeature-maven-plugin
${slingfeature-maven-plugin.version}
true

target/fm
${basedir}/target/fm



aggregate-base-feature
generate-test-sources

aggregate-features




example-runtime
**/*.json

org.apache.sling:org.apache.sling.serviceusermapper:LATEST

*=USE_LATEST

${project.groupId}
wfx-api
${project.version}
slingosgifeature

…

Then I used the Sling Feature Maven Plugin Launcher goal to launch both Sling 
and my demo project and both came up just fine.

Finally I wanted to add Peregrine CMS into my project which can be done with 
just this one:


com.peregrine-cms
com.peregrine-cms.featuremodel.starter
1.0.0-SNAPSHOT
example-runtime
slingosgifeature


The same way would Sling be added into my project when the FM descriptor is 
available.

This is what I think a project should look like:

- bundle(s): creates FM descriptor and installs it when built
- project: creates Project Wide FM Descriptor and install it (Sling, Peregrine 
CMS etc). For Peregrine CMS this would only create a FM descriptor for its own 
modules and for example would not include Sling
- launcher: takes the projects and modules FM descriptors, aggregates final FM 
descriptor and then launches it

I will go on now and apply this to Sling Modules.

As the FM specification does not lay out a grouping feature like the PMs have 
for Sling 12 we have these options:

- Have the Sling FM Starter maintain a list of all FM from the Sling Project. 
We might want to consider to create a  container that then 
can set group wide properties like group id, type etc to all its 
 children
- Create Group Modules similar to the PMs that just create grouping FM 
descriptors
- Create Group Modules inside the Sling FM Starter

As soon as I have more experience with the Sling Feature Maven Plugin and the 
create-fm-descriptor goal I will commit and push.

Hi Robert

Both, we need FM descriptors for single bundles and for groups (ala PMs).
The reason for single bundles is to provide the ability to assemble an 
application by cherry picking bundles so that I do not have to wait for a group 
to be released.

Depends on what you define as a module. I see multiple options here:

1. A bundle produces its own feature file.

For instance, slingshot - single bundle, single feature file.

2. A set of bundles define their own feature file in a shared project

This would be for example composum, defining all bundles + configs they
need to start up in the Composum project. Then we import it in the
application we are running.

3. A set of bundles are included in a feature file of the application
project.

This would be the Sling starter defining its own feature files and
including e.g. composum Sling scripting bundles + configs in its own
repository.

Which is the one under discussion?

Hi

I started to get the pieces into place for a build up of Peregrine CMS based on 
Sling 11 using FMs.

First I updated the Sling Feature Converter Maven Plugin to install the 
generated slingosgifeature into my local Maven repo and then use these 
dependencies to assemble and launch Peregrine. This works fine for most parts 
(content does not deploy but that is another story).

Next step is to install FMs from Bundles into the local Maven repo which will

My question is: is it expected for the developer to write its own

Overall that sounds reasonable to me. The only note that I want to make
is that since we are doing releases at best once per year, downstream
projects would either need to depend on SNAPSHOT versions of the Sling
Starter, or depend on older versions.

Sling FM Starter Module

2019-11-08 Thread Andreas Schaefer
Hi

I am wondering how a Sling FM Starter Module would look like and how it is used 
by clients like Peregrine.

It is my assumption that any FM slingosgifeature project will install that file 
on release on a public Maven repository like all of our Sling Module.

Then the Sling FM Starter Module will select the appropriate slingosgifeature 
files and assemble it into a Sling release slingosgifeature which is then also 
installed on a public Maven repo. This enables anyone to build the latest Sling 
instance w/o having any other Sling Module checked out / built like right now 
it is done in PM based Sling Starter.

A customer will then do the same by taking the Sling slingosgifeature file and 
assembly it with their own project and external projects slingosgifeature files 
to build the final Sling / Customer instance.

Cheers - Andy
