Hi Vincent

I totally agree with your  directory structure althought I am not a
xwiki developer nor a committer, at least not yet ...

Hi everyone,
(switching list)
I really don't understand what is the problem with the:
xwiki/
xwiki-plugins/
directory structure.
Do you put all your files in a single directory on your machine? I believe
not. I'm sure you're using folders.
xwiki/
plugin1/
plugin2/
...
pluginN/
will work well *only* if we have very few plugins (and I don't think that's
the plan! :-)).
In addition it's not balanced with the xwiki/ directory. We could also have
xwiki-core/, xwiki-plugin-manager/, xwiki-persistence/, etc at the top level
but we don't. Why? Because it's better organized to have them under xwiki/
as they all are about the xwiki engine proper. The same applies for the
plugins. They are all plugins.
Also there are other things than plugins. Imagine some other extensions or
other applications built on top of xwiki. Say an issue tracker for example.
It would then go in:
xwiki/
xwiki-plugins/
xwiki-tracker/
[...]
It would really be a mess to mix all the plugins at the top level with other
things.
I don't understand what's your issue with multiple level directories. I
guess you haven't seen a Maven directory structure yet too! ;-) Once and if
we migrate to Maven, I can tell you that the structure inside xwiki/ is
going to contain *lots* of directories! :-)
I hope I have convinced you a little more...
Thanks
-Vincent

Hi All,
+1 for this structure which seems real clean and extensible.  Don't
like the two level hierarchy for the plugins Vincent proposed in his
later post too much.
Looking forward to participating in this community !

IMHO it's more flexible and at the root level I would also add other
tools that are not XWiki plugins like xwiki-scripts,
xwiki-eclipse-client etc.. in future.

PS: Ludovic, I'm still working on the email notification thing. Hope to
get a working version ready this week.
cool, cannot wait for it! The simple email notification workaround
(http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/RecentChangesNewsletter) we
use at my company is quickly reaching its limits ;-)

Hi all,
just read through the mails of the last days - this really seems to
become a high traffic list now :-)

This is not right. I'd like to transform it into:
[REPOROOT]/
  |_ xwiki/
    |_ trunk/
    |_ branches/
      |_ [branchname]
    |_ tags/
      |_ [tagname]
+1 for this one.
...
And then if we want want to add a xwiki-plugins project later on we
would
have:
[REPOROOT]/
  |_ xwiki/
    |_ trunk/
    |_ branches/
    |_ tags/
  |_ xwiki-plugins/
    |_ trunk/
    |_ branches/
    |_ tags/
This follows the standard SVN directory structure defined in
http://tinyurl.com/4dhja.
One reason is that the release lifecycle of xwiki/ and xwiki-plugins/
will
probably be different (you can release a newer version of a plugin
even if
the core is not released again).
here I would vote for each plugin having it's own set of
trunk/branches/head directories. I think different plugins will have
different development cycles, and imho one would not want to branch all
plugins just because one plugin is undergoing major changes.
so I would suggest an architecture like this:
[REPOROOT]/
  |_ xwiki/
    |_ trunk/
    |_ branches/
    |_ tags/
  |_ xwiki-plugin1/
    |_ trunk/
    |_ branches/
    |_ tags/
  |_ xwiki-plugin2/
    |_ trunk/
    |_ branches/
    |_ tags/
Greetings,
Jens
