Ted, the javadocs problem may be the case, but remember we can get around those glitches by utilizing the ant plugin and doing that kind of stuff in Ant. - Posted via Jive Forums http://forums.opensymphony.com/thread.jspa?threadID

Re: Does Struts really need two frameworks? (long)

2006-06-21 Thread Patrick Lightbody
My quick thoughts: I think realistically either of the following two outcomes are positive developments for everyone: 1) We move in the direction of "Struts 2.0", which houses all SAF2 and Shale and get back for it being OK for folks to say, "I use Struts". We've all said we want to work togeth

Re: [action2] Upgrade Dojo toolkit

2006-06-20 Thread Patrick Lightbody
Just to add to what Jason already said: no one is suggesting getting rid of Dojo, just that we'd move the "ajax" theme as it exists today over to the new "dojo" theme and then the new ajax theme would be a simpler implementation based on DWR and possibly Prototype. When users need more, they are

OK - what's the consensus here then? I'd be happy to use vmbuild.apache.org. Or, I was planning on setting up opensource.hostedqa.com/continuum to donate to various projects. Or we can wait for Sean and James to work it out. I suppose having multiple ones can't hurt too much. Anyone have a pref

Re: [SAF2] Default workflow

Dave, I think you are thinking about this the same way we are. Bob Lee and I agreed when we met up during JavaOne that there should be just one stack to handle 90% of the needs of users. The actual logical differences in the stack (form submit vs. "view") should be handled by conventions and/or

Ted, The plan looks solid. There may be a few other things we might try to sneak in, but what you have there is definitely the core plan. Let me know if you need help with the snippet plugin - I have the source code and can deploy a new version if it is acting up or giving you trouble. Patrick

Continuous integration for Struts

2006-05-25 Thread Patrick Lightbody
Do we have something like Continuum setup for Struts? If not, we should. What's the process to kick this off? Besides the unit tests we should be running frequently, I'd like to turn on nightly runs of HostedQA (the product my company has donated to Struts for doing end-to-end automated tests).

Let's leave XW at OpenSymphony for now - as we know there is a lot of work to be focussed on when moving a project to Apache and I'd rather not let that distract us from the core work that needs to be done on Struts. I say in 6 months or so we see about moving it, once we have a SAF 2.0 release
