Adding the live Compilation feature in the NetBeans plugin

[rohan julka <ro...@gmail.com>]

Hi ,

I am working on SYNCOPE-1220 [1] , basically adding feature of managing Groovy scripts in the NetBeans plugin . The work is almost done and now the groovy scripts can be managed through the NetBeans plugin (here’s the pull request  [2]) . What’s left is documenting stuff and adding the live compilation feature . So if anyone can provide some insights on this feature it will be easy for me to implement it in the plugin .

[2]: https://github.com/apache/syncope/pull/82
 
Thank you ,

Best Regards ,
Rohan Julka

Hi Rohan,
looking forward to see your PR merged.

About the "live compilation feature", I think the idea is that Netbeans 
should be able to provide some basic IDE features (autocompletion, 
import organization, etc.) when dealing with Groovy classes via the 
Syncope plugin.

Essentially, I believe it should be enough to provide some sort of 
compilation classpath for the Groovy classes - though I have no idea 
about how to instruct Netbeans to do so.

About what to put in the classpath, it seems that it is enough to include

     <dependency>
       <groupId>org.apache.syncope.core</groupId>
<artifactId>syncope-core-provisioning-java</artifactId>
       <version>${syncope.version}</version>
     </dependency>

and its transitive dependencies, e.g. [3].

HTH
Regards.
