Re: [xwiki-devs] XAR source projects should allow source files

I am rewaking this rather older subject (see http://xwiki.475771.n2.nabble.com/XAR-source-projects-should-allow-source-fi... and older things mentioned there) with yet another attempt which might satisfy everyone: an attempt to use XAR-Transformations to include files into XARs. It defines two extra transformations: - INSERT_TEXT (using an XPath expression): inserts the content of the text file - INSERT_ATTACHMENT_CONTENT (using a file name): inserts the content of a file in base64 The attempt is detailed in https://jira.xwiki.org/browse/XCOMMONS-1614 and has a pull-request and an example realisation. I claim that this attempt allows project developers to nicely edit files and let them be combined into a xar when it is the time. See the issue for an example realisation. I would love your comments.

Hi Paul, I commented the jira issue and the PR. I don't see any harm in this approach at meast so it's a +1 from me. On Tue, Apr 16, 2019 at 3:06 PM <paul@hoplahup.net> wrote:

Thank you for your comments Thomas and Vincent, Thanks for merging my pull request. Dear all, Since 11.4-SNAPSHOT (it will 11.4-RC1 in I suppose), it is possible to use the transformation actions INSERT_TEXT and INSERT_ATTACHMENT_CONTENT. This is documented in https://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/XARPlugin#HInsertTextContento... paul On 18 Apr 2019, at 14:39, Thomas Mortagne wrote:
