DataViews heads up

[Andrus Adamchik <an...@objectstyle.org>]

As was promised before, DataViews code is split from Cayenne into a  
standalone subproject. Anybody who wants to continue to use DV with  
Cayenne 3.0, read the information here:

   https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/cayenne/dataviews/trunk/README.txt

In short:

* you'd have to compile DV from source
* DVModeler is still supported
* There is a small change in runtime configuration step (new  
DataViewConfiguration).
* Documentation is moved here: http://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/ 
display/CAYDV/Index

I guess we should mention in the README that there is a fork.

Just as a sidenote and in no way meant as a "hostile activity".

I have taken the latest DataView version from Malcolm and added the
functionality for codes-support and created a standalone package. I kept
the licence for now and hope the new headers are OK like this. You can
browse the SVN repository here:

<http://somap.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/somap/dataview/>

This URL contains all the informations that you will need to do a SVN
checkout:

<http://sourceforge.net/svn/?group_id=105538>

I am willing to include/check-in any patches sent to me.

Could be that the SVN is missing the maven build configuration. I am
having a version and could help you out there...

Regards,
Adrian

Generally the answer is yes. But it may be challenging to do  
appropriate quality control, as to the best of my knowledge none of  
the current committers are using DataViews. This means that response  
times can be quite long. As for the process:

* Make sure you submit the CLA to Apache. Since it can take somewhere  
between a few weeks and a few months to get recorded, it is a good  
idea to submit it in advance: http://apache.org/licenses/

* Submit patches via Jira. Make sure they are well documented so that  
the person who applies them understands what this is all about.

My suggestion is to grab the code from SVN, build it and post it  
somewhere on your own site.

Somebody has to write the Maven assembly code. All the bits are there  
(including a Maven plugin to grab stuff from Confluence). Send us a  
patch - I think if it works it will be committed with no big delays.

Thank you for making it a standalone module (not a sandbox project).


Few questions:
#1. Will someone check-in submitted patches (so that the trunk to contain everything)?
(If yes, how to proceed? )

#2. Will it be possible/allowed to publish (somewhere) a build, e.g. dev-version (even if not on 
Apache - e.g.
a version that might contain some patches). It would be important especially for the DVModeler,
since this might be used even by non-programmers who are not able to build by themselfs .

#3. How to build a "distribution" with the new maven build? (with ANT it was build as part
of the cayenne distribution, with the documentation included - with that Confluence plug-in).

Thanks in advance,

Ahmed.
