Re: [wtp-pmc] cactus plan (due to IP review issues)

[Lawrence Mandel <lmandel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I opened bug 104622
requesting that we include the Cactus
libraries in WTP. I've made this request as from a user standpoint I think
it is much nicer to select to create a Cactus test and have your project
automatically configured for you rather than have to download and copy
over the jars yourself. This request is part of a larger request to improve
Cactus support in WTP and in Eclipse. (The Cactus project had an Eclipse
plug-in which is no longer being developed.)

As I don't think the new Cactus wizard
improvements I proposed in bug 106373
 will be included in 1.0 I don't
see a problem if the Cactus jars cannot be included by the wizard at this
point. I think this is a valid request and would like to see them included
in the 1.5 time frame.

Subject	[wtp-pmc] cactus plan (due to IP review issues)

From Dan Somerfield (below) – looks like
we can probably just avoid redist and it’s a testing exercise to verify
that everything works correctly when it is present. –t
 
 
If cactus resources are not
found when creating a cactus test, it already pops up a message that says
“You are missing cactus dependencies in your web project. The following
libraries are required…”. 
It doesn’t help them download
it, but it does tell them they have to get it and where from. Is this sufficient?
The only problem with this, is if they don’t use to wizard to create a
cactus test, they might not see it. That said, the tests they create won’t
compile, so it seems like they would figure it out.
