[Studio] Beta or downloadable version of OpenLDAP ACL editor plug-in?

[vr...@tx.rr.com]

Dear Apache Studio Team,

First, thank you for ApacheDS and Apache Studio.  Is there an unreleased or beta plugin available for the OpenLDAP ACL editor shown on page 8 of this PDF : http://people.apache.org/~elecharny/ldapcon/Pierre-Arnaud%20Marcelot-paper.pdf .  I have been searching high and low for something like this!

I did see the Directory Studio github README.MD says all OpenLDAP-related plug-ins are not considered production, so they are removed from the released builds.  I did find the source to the plug-in here ( https://github.com/apache/directory-studio/tree/master/plugins/openldap.acl.editor) but I have no experience building complex Java projects so I'm doubtful about being able to build it successfully.

Thank you!
VR

No, there is no beta. The code is not complete, especially the ACL 
editor part (it's quite complex).

ATM, it's not inclucded in the build because we don't want to release 
anythi,nbg that is not complete

Building Studio is quite easy :

- download the project :

git clone https://gitbox.apache.org/repos/asf/directory-studio.git

- modify the features/pom.xml file to include the OpenLDAP features that 
are currently absent :


     ...

     <module>openldap.feature</module>

     ...

</modules>

- modify the product/org.apache.directory.studio.product file and add 
this feature in, the <feature> section  :


     <feature id="org.apache.directory.studio.openldap.feature"/>


- either launch the build.sh or the build.bat script (depending on your 
OS), assuming you have installed a Java JDK and Maven o,n your machine, 
you should get the project built.
