My Goals for XML Graphics Project

Fellow Team,

I'd like to share some of my ideas for improving the XML Graphics projects
as we move forward:

   - transition writeable source repository from SVN to GIT, making SVN a
   slave to the latter
   - transition build, test, and deployment system from Ant to Maven
   - update minimum JDK to 7 or perhaps even 8
   - enable findbugs (from Maven site goals) by default
   - convert non-Junit tests (batik) to Junit
   - improve test coverage
   - triage bug list
   - revisit documentation, in its format, deployment, and content

Overall, I want to bring XML Graphics more up to date with other "modern"
Apache Project practices and tool sets.

Please feel free comment on these matters.

Regards,
Glenn

All these are worthy ideas and I have no objections.

Regarding Batik tests, I think we need to remove the ones that are machine
dependent, or at least not make them part of the default tests. Probably we
would want to do this before moving them to Junit.

Too busy. Thanks for the comments. Regarding GIT vs SVN, I have used both
extensively (as well as CVS, RCS, SCCS, etc), and personally find GIT the
most usable. Using GIT, via GITHUB, also brings other utility such as pull
request processing, traffic analysis, watch and notification support, etc.

On the JDK front, yes, a survey would be prudent. Also, we could use daily
builds on multiple JDK versions to determine and maintain compatibility.

Git is better at branch support, but since we don't create a lot of 
branches seems overkill to me as the complexity of GIT is much higher 
than SVN. I think I'm +0 on this topic.

+1, agreed this would make working with the FOP source code much easier. 
Currently it takes ages to setup the IDE with the correct dependencies. 
With Maven this becomes a 1 click process

>     - update minimum JDK to 7 or perhaps even 8

Since FOP is a backend server process, a lot of folks use it on older 
Linux/mainframe systems. Where its difficult to get support for newer 
JDKs. Why do you feel its important to increase minimum JDK version? I 
don't see what benefit that would bring to the user base. Sorry but I'm 
opposed to this move at this time as it would block a high percentage of 
users from working with FOP. We could conduct a survey of users to try 
and ascertain how feasible this would be.

Hi,

I think a bugfix release is a very good idea.

One very important bugfix, which seems to have affected a lot of users
and was at least partially fixed:
FOP-2461: NullPointerException in ListItemLayoutManager since
Temp_BasicSideFloat Merge

BR,
Matthias

Let's go ahead with a bugfix release first. Do we have any volunteers?
Simon,  have you done a release yet? Perhaps you could work with Luis on
this? First, you will need to do a vote.

Re: My Goals for XML Graphics Project

Posted by Chris Bowditch <bo...@hotmail.com>.
Sounds good to me Glenn. I'm definitely supportive of moving to Maven. 
The question is should we do a bug fix release now or wait until you've 
finished porting the projects to Maven?

Thanks,

Chris

I would think we’d want to do one last release before the Maven changes?

Hi,

Do we want to postpone a bugfix release until maven changes are finished?

Thanks

I would also support a bugfix release. As for a JDK upgrade, I'm fine with holding off on that until we have a survey and better rationale for an upgrade.

I am more interested in effecting a transition to maven in the shorter term, which I have been working on in branches to be eventually merged to trunk.

Re: My Goals for XML Graphics Project

I would also support a bugfix release. As for a JDK upgrade, I'm fine with
holding off on that until we have a survey and better rationale for an
upgrade.

I am more interested in effecting a transition to maven in the shorter
term, which I have been working on in branches to be eventually merged to
trunk.

Re: My Goals for XML Graphics Project

Posted by Chris Bowditch <bo...@hotmail.com>.
Hi All,

As previously discussed I'm -1 on upgrading the JDK at this time. I will 
change my vote if evidence gathered via a survey shows no one is using 
the older JDKs. Since FOP is a server side process, my experience is 
that it is run on a lot of older systems, like AIX, HP-UX, etc. It is 
very difficult to patch these system up to such later JDKs, and so we 
may prevent a lot of users from using/upgrading FOP. And for what 
benefit? What does the later JDK give us, that JDK 6 doesn't already 
have? The benefit seems very minimal versus the potential cost

Thanks,

Chris

+1 for a pre-release party (FOP and/or Batik release before JDK upgrade)

+1 for JDK upgrade, assuming there're community-wide VOTEs (2-weeks? 1-month? Lazy consensus?)

Cheers!

Happy New Year folks!

Subject: My Goals for XML Graphics Project

Fellow Team,

I'd like to share some of my ideas for improving the XML Graphics projects as we move forward:

   - transition writeable source repository from SVN to GIT, making SVN a
   slave to the latter
   - transition build, test, and deployment system from Ant to Maven
   - update minimum JDK to 7 or perhaps even 8
   - enable findbugs (from Maven site goals) by default
   - convert non-Junit tests (batik) to Junit
   - improve test coverage
   - triage bug list
   - revisit documentation, in its format, deployment, and content

Overall, I want to bring XML Graphics more up to date with other "modern"
Apache Project practices and tool sets.

Please feel free comment on these matters.

Regards,
Glenn
