[jira] Commented: (CLK-531) Quick Start Project Builder improvements

["Joseph Schmidt (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLK-531?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12837167#action_12837167 ] 

Joseph Schmidt commented on CLK-531:
------------------------------------

Please add support for StaX too as hosting, not just GAE:
http://stax.net/
Several concurrent frameworks already have support for Stax, so it would be really practical if Click would also have (it doesn't require changes in Click - just a good start-up template).
One advantage of StaX is that it will be free for open source/demo hosting, so developers that want to show their applications live, can simply put them there. 
GAE on the other side has too many restrictions compared to StaX.

> To make Click even more useful for new users, Quick Start needs to be better.
> Some improvements that could help make it much better:
> 1. move form an ANT based implementation to a standalone library (and maybe + CLI).
> 2. allow more options for project setup: 
>     - inclusion of libraries: cayenne, spring, hibernate, external click controls, etc.
>     - security type: container, Click, Acegi, and maybe GAE/J etc .
> 3. generation of unit tests and selenium tests (+configuration)
> #1 would bring several advantages:
>      - it would allow to be used by several IDEs directly(from a plug-in or from external tools) 
>      - the effort would not be duplicated and a best practice structure used everywhere.
>      - if included in the path it could create a click project everywhere from the command line - not just in the click directory (this looks very nice in live presentations).
>  
> #2 would reduce the time to setup a project considerably, since a simple Click application without persistence is quite seldom.
