CSVGenerator, how to contribute?
Hi,
A few weeks back I wrote a CSVGenerator component. It's nothing more
than a SAX wrapper around Stephen Ostermiller's CSV library
(http://ostermiller.org/utils/CSV.html).
Would Cocoon include a component that can't actually be used OotB, i.e.
w/o getting additional dependencies from elsewhere? The Ostermiller
utils are GPLed, so we can't include the jar (in any case that jar
contains a whole lot of extra stuff — see http://ostermiller.org/utils/
— and so for my own purposes I repackaged just the CSV stuff into my
own jar.
I'd like for the community to have this, but as I've said I don't know
about the dependency bundling policy. The other issue is that there
really isn't a good place for it... I would have to make a CSV block,
with samples... ugh, I don't have time for that right now! :-)
Should I just toss it into the scratchpad? Or post it to the wiki as
an attachment?

Thanks Ugo... I'd thought of cocoondev.org but figured it would't be
worth a "project" for something so trivial :-)

Or you could request to create a new project on cocoondev.org.

If it's a small thing (I assume your generate is a single source file),
the easiest thing might be to just post it on the wiki as you suggest,
with instructions about how to activate it.

There is _already_ a CSV generator in the scratchpad:
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/cocoon/blocks/scratchpad/trunk/java/
org/apache/cocoon/generation/CSVGenerator.java?rev=179100&view=markup
And it doesn't depend on any library.
