Comment #17 from Wes Johnson

Comments inline:
I'm not comfortable
with this. My understanding is that the Kura UI makes
absolutely no
sense without this library being present.
WES> This is true - but
the same is true for the GXT jar which was already
approved as a
workswith dep. This is the required CSS to go with GXT.
How
fundamental to the project is the UI? AFAICT, its not mentioned in the
scope,
so I'm guessing that it is not fundamental, but need some assurances.
WES>
Not very. Kura can be configured multiple ways including hand
modification
to an XML file or configuration via MQTT messages. The UI is a
nice
to have that makes local configuration changes easier. Also we are
actively
working on a replacement for the GXT dependency (via Vaadin) which
shows
this is truely a 'workswith' in that there will be multiple options.
The
project currently has nothing in its downloads. Does the notion of
downloads
make sense for Kura?
WES> I'm not sure understand this. The
'download' will occur via a
configuration change in the build. See
below for more details.
Can Kura be built without the UI? Can
somebody pull in the Kura git repository
and run some build script
which does not pull in GXT?
WES> The plan is for the default build
to not include the UI. We use
Maven+Tycho for Kura builds. So, for
automated builds via the Eclipse build
server we will build Kura and
provide Kura releases w/o the UI. However, we
will include the code
developed by Kura committers in the source of Kura. In
addition,
we'll host the GXT workswith dependencies in a third party maven
repo.
So, if one wanted the UI, they would simply pull in the source, switch
a
flag in a pom, and run 'mvn clean install'. The switching of that
flag and
running the build will pull in the workswith (GXT)
dependencies from the third
party site and produce a Kura build with
the UI. So, at no point will Eclipse
repositories ever host these
deps either in binary or source format.
Furthermore, Kura will build
run and be usable without the UI by default. We
are only trying to
include it as a 'nice to have' for those that build from
source.
