Re: [skalli-dev] How many launches to you want to have?

Hi Jochen,

Just to add some comments on configuration of the storage folder: There is a mechanism to get that storage folder path from a property file that has to be in the class path root. Doing so we can customize the storage folder by adding a bundle fragment including that property file. For us it's much easier to implement a separate bundle (fragment) that is deployed together with the  skalli bundles instead of touching particular files that came with skalli sources (this is something we call a 'build hack'). In general, as you mentioned your 'telekom customization', it is obvious that we have a 'sap customization' (e.g. the bundle fragment including the property file mentioned above). I think this could be the way to go for all customization that needs to be adapted by different organizations.

The only thing that is missing at the moment is a description how to write such a bundle fragment, I will adapt the contributor guide asap.

Cheers,
  Juergen

Hi Britta,

Hello,
on http://wiki.eclipse.org/Skalli/Contributor_Guide#Run_Skalli_from_IDE a patch with an skalli-jetty.launch is available (has not reached origin/master by now).

Additionally a skalli.lauch is available in project org.eclipse.skalli.target.
What was the reason to have both?

added my comment to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=343826

One launch config is fine, only property has to be fixed to OSGi standard. Reopened the bug.

Additionally I would like to provide a workdir with some  testdata. (some example projects and users fitting to the jetty-users)
Benefit for Skalli beginners:  they fast can get a feeling of a working and filled skalli.

Thats a good idea.

 I would like to have a suitable launch file for that as well, or can I “reuse” the current available one and just add the testdata to the current workdir?

For a quick startup, it is an good idea to have a non-empty storage to play around with, especially for simple demoing purposes. I would reuse the o.e.s.target/workdir as default directory.

For other needs, developers can adapt or clone the launch config for their needs (like I am doing for my Telekom customization).

Regards Britta

Bye, Jochen
