Re: [ormf-dev] Jaxen woes

Thanks Achim. The estimate for refactoring Dom4J to get away from Jaxen is what is really needed right now. That will not however give you any insight into the Useme code, the idea is to fix dom4j and the changes will be transparent to our code. What I know so far is that there are 8 classes in dom4j that have jaxen dependencies.

If you want to look into EMF, that is great, but it is tangential to the first step. I guess this is less than a days work to scope.

As far as timing, I would really like to know about dom4j sooner rather than later as it will be one of the keys that will drive our decision making process.

Iac, I agree with you concerning EMF...it is all a matter of resourceing. More on that later this evening.

Cheers,
Joel

Thanks for your comments Wolfgang. I want to give everyone a chance to comment and discuss before reaching conclusions. There was a very specific request made that has not been addressed and I do not want it to get lost in an architectural discussion. Who is willing to take on estimating the effort to do this for dom4j? Having a feeling for this will impact our decision, so it is time for the hearty to step forward. Any takers?

I'm willing to look into the code and come up with a proposal on how to migrate (and how long it might take) if we have a few weeks time for this (i.e. it will be done end of August earliest). I think it is a good way to get into the code by planing a refactoring. I assume that Barbara and Joel are available for some kickstart help.

I would look into an "easy migration" first and then try to estimate the cost for a switch to EMF (which I would prefer). I'm not really fluent using EMF so this part would be a "high risk" approach. If someone with a more in depth knowledge of EMF would take this part (or review my findings) things would be a lot easier.
