Re: [ormf-dev] Jaxen revisted

I just read my initial findings on replacing Jaxen (memory gets really weak when you grow older). To wrap it up: seems like no little effort.

I would go the way other projects do with their non EPL components: tell the user to download and install it separately. This seems reasonable since this would be an interims solution which will go away with some future release. I really don't want spend time on migrating some software we will throw out a few month later.

Technically we could tell an alpha/beta tester to download the jar and put it in some plug-in directory or we could define a plug-in which will export the Jaxen classes and define an update site outside the Eclipse domain (this would be the Subversive approach).

Hi,

I am a embarrassed to admit that I made a fundamental error when B. and I were doing the planning exercise. The plan <http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project-plan.php?projectid=technology.ormf> states that at the end of M1 we have "Available functional system based on OSGi server". Well that is not quite the case because I conveniently forgot that we still had the Jaxen dependency to contend with. Sorry, sigh... and all that :-( The EMO-IP team has said that there is not an issue with us using Jaxen in our local workspace as long as it is not checked into SVN or distributed by any means by us outside the team. This at least means that we can do testing at the end of M1.

There are a couple of ways to handle this. The simplest of course is to change the plan. The other is to tackle the modifications to Dom4J to excise Jaxen. Personally I would prefer if we had an early alpha out next month than wait until next March. Community feedback even on a limited alpha basis would be very good IMHO. Not that I want to skew the opinion of the team ;-)

We have several options on how to resource the work if that is the way we decide to go. If Achim manages Yahya on CM possibly he has the bandwidth to continue with this. Otherwise any one of Yahya, Jojy or possibly Wolfgang (if he is back among the walking living:-) Achim started doing the feasibility and scoping exercise on this, so I think he is best place to guide this discussion.

Your thoughts please!!
