RE: jakarta-site2 now live on xslt

2005-01-03 Thread John Rasmussen
Henri,

I've followed these listings for some time, and as a member of a leading xml
aware networking organization, have wondered if my expertise and experience
could be of value.

I am especially adept at xslt.  Is there a need for contributions in this
arena?

Regards,

 Looks like a *lot* of other projects use the Anakia jars and/or

 perhaps those need to be restored.

 Sites with the older lf:

 Taglibs, Velocity, BSF, ECS, JMeter, Lucene, ORO, Regexp, Slide, Tomcat,
 Watchdog.

 However, the following all appear to be self contained/non-users:

 Taglibs, Velocity, BSF, Watchdog, Slide.

 Sorry, should have remembered that, as it used to apply to jmeter...

 + JMeter.

 So the broken ones look like they are Tomcat, Regexp, ORO, Lucene, ECS.


 I did a search for the string jakarta-site2 in the build.xml,v files
 in CVS, and that produced quite a lot of hits (see
 http://www.apache.org/~sebb/js2.txt - note that the matched text is
 *followed* by the file name).

 Some of the matches relate to history items, but some are in the HEAD
 versions of the files, for example:


http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/ant/proposal/ant-site/anakia/build.xml?onl
y_with_tag=HEADview=markup


http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/jakarta-commons/httpclient/build.xml?only_
with_tag=HEADview=markup

 Of course we don't know if the build targets are actually still used,
 but it suggests that these files are rather more generally used.

Both HttpClient and Ant appear to use Maven or Forrest for their sites 
though, so I'd think it's a pretty low chance that they still use things.

I think all of Commons is Mavenised, and I checked all of Jakarta in this 
way to find old style lf and then examined those by hand. Looking at the 
graduated projects, Struts and James still look old style; so they've got 
a good chance of still using site2.

Looking at them, both Struts and James appear to be on XSLT variants, but 
no use of the site2 jars or stylesheets.

Still, not to say that others in your list don't use it, such as jyve or 
various proposals in James etc, just nothing 'big' I think.

Jakarta - A study in self defeating projects

2004-10-09 Thread john rasmussen



Christian,

What a wanker!

Usually, those who use verbal assaults such as you are hiding a strong sense of 
inadequacy, or incompetence.  But to blast such a blithering bunch of blather to a 
general mail listing, you have exposed yourself as simply out of touch with the 
occupation you claim to represent.

OMFG!!!

YOUR DOCUMENTATION SUCKS ASS IN HELL!

Is there a harder more terribly-documented install procedure for any other product?? 
Why is Jakarta is comprised of a dozen or so strange components at varying stages of 
development and interoperability and documentation?? Why not install one single 
package when you can install, edit, install, edit, install, copy, install, edit...

Is this project TRYING to make FLOSS look like a jumble of collated mess?

I wanted to install OpenNMS, which requires Jakarta, which requires a WORLD of 
patience and determination to deduce. I've spent the last couple hours trying to 
figure out how to install jakarta. Man, on days like this even MS products look so 
good. F**K jakarta and now because of that F**K OpenNMS - might have been EXACTLY what 
I needed, but at this point F**K IT!!

Good job jakarta developers, way to promote the shitty side of FLOSS projects.

Cheers,

Christian Anton
