I checked in a branch with a directory refactor and mvn support to pull down the dependencies.

I'd like some feedback on it, and to merge it with trunk quickly before other changes get made.

To use the branch you'll want to install the IAM eclipse plugin from the update site:

http://q4e.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/updatesite-iam/

The branch is in: /branches/mvn

I tested it with RunAs in eclipse and it started fine.

Okay, looks fine to me. I see that under the depencies there is now mockito. What's that? And shouldn't the other libraries ted uses also be added there?

I did a little bit of reading on the Maven subject and it looks quite cool. It also looks like you can do really a lot with it and I wouldn't know exactly where to start

What exactly do you all have in mind with Maven?

Thanks for checking it over. There's currently dependencies both in the maven pom.xml and in the standard /lib. They are:

-----
The Maven side currently lists the following dependencies:

rome - the version you already had, this pulls in jdom as well

junit - a unit testing framework for writing tests

mockito - a mock framework, to help break coupling in the unit tests, and tests processes that would otherwise be slow.

-----
The /lib still contains:

forms-1.1.0 - because the earliest version in maven is 1.2.0, so we may look at updating to this at some point.

jdic - still have to research how to bring this down, as there's the libraries for each platform.

-----
The other two should soon be moved over to the maven side, then maven should be able to pull down all the dependencies automatically, and package them all into a single package for making releases.

It will also easily generate reports for the state of the junit tests (pass/fail), and reports for any other plugins we add (code complexity, warnings, etc).

Basically it'll handle all the build work, so we can spend more time on code

Do you know if there would be any problems if we would update?


Cool

Btw, I don't see your new branch appearing on FishEye. Do you know why this is?

I don't know what has changed, but I found a copy of version 1.1.0 in the java.net repository, so I've included that one in maven instead.



I'm not exactly sure. Do you have access to the administration on FishEye to see the project settings? Maybe it's just being slow to update (although it has been a bit now).


So, for the new layout, is everything acceptable? Shall I merge it back to trunk?

Yep, fine by me. I'm only wondering is the translations folder should stay in the main/java/ted directory. Isn't this more a resource than source? Or maybe it is even something else

One thing, I would rename the HACKING file in the main directory. It doesn't seem to be about hacking but about Maven. Maybe we can make a link in the directory to the Wiki how to set up ted in eclipse.

After you're done we've to adjust the Wiki of course Shouldn't forgot to change the links on the development and translations page as well.

Okay,

I'm going to move it trunk first, and make the adjustments afterwards, just to make sure it's updated for anyone else looking to make changes.

You're 100% right that translations should be in resources. I had that on my TODO list as well. It was kept in src for the moment because I didn't have time to fully test that it would end up in the classpath correctly with how they are loaded.

The HACKING file likely can be deleted once the wiki is updated. I don't (yet) have access to the wiki to make changes, so I couldn't add the IAM requirement to the eclipse page. Or a link to the wiki page would also work well.

The log in page of the wiki is .

I don't think you can create an account for the wiki though, I think roel has to do that for you. We had lots of trouble in the beginning with spam on the wiki so I think at this point only roel and I can edit it.

Okay, it's official. The project has been mavenized .

I didn't put in the HACKING file, and will update the wiki when I have an account (tested it, and I don't seem to have one yet).

To do an 'ant dist' from the CLI you now first have to run 'mvn dependency:copy-dependencies' to copy them locally, but that'll change in the future when we have maven creating the builds for us.

Let me know of any problem that arise and I'll fix them right away.

I don't see any changes in the SVN repository?

oops, eclipse was stalled waiting on a password. Should be in now.

Hi, looks good! I am not at home at the moment so I cannot try if everything is still working but I trust that it does I will send you a password for the wiki so you can edit it.

I will clean up some folders (like the icon folder, there are a lot of unused icons there) when I get home, so only the icons that are really used in ted are included as resource.

Okay, seems to work for me.

One thing, I see errors in the TedMainMacListener: the import com.apple cannot be resolved.

As I'm working under Windows that's no problem for me, but it could be for people using a Mac.

Fixed. I'd actually not noticed because I'm running on a Mac. It shouldn't have been a problem on any platform though, as that code is only run on Mac, and Mac already includes those libraries directly in the OS.

Thanks for the heads up.

Great stuff. When it becomes time, I'll have to start building the web interface with maven as well, and integrating it with the project.
