[jira] [Commented] (JSPWIKI-651) Convert JSPWiki to a Maven project

["Glen Mazza (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JSPWIKI-651?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13475638#comment-13475638 ] 

Glen Mazza commented on JSPWIKI-651:
------------------------------------

quote: "One of the problems is that you need to modify jspwiki.properties after installation, and that can't be done if the whole thing is wrapped in a WAR. It would be nice if there was a simple way to do all that."

Apache Roller (the WAR-based blogging software) has its admins place its roller-custom.properties configuration file in the common $CATALINA_HOME/lib folder while keeping the roller.war webapp the same for everybody.  It's a nice design IMO--it allows users to deploy and undeploy new versions of the webapp without needing to tinker within the WAR to add in their config info.

> Hello there, I was hoping to maybe one day contribute to the JSPWiki project and after having checked out the trunk code and played around somewhat I was thinking it would be very nice if this project used Maven.
> I'm sure most of you are familiar with Maven in one way or another, you might even have a really good reason for not doing this to JSPWiki.
