Hi:
I wrote a new task for the Cocoon build system. The new task build the eclipse project files only for the blocks included in [local.]blocks.properties.
The new task also only include the optional libraries based on the user choosed blocks.
The motivation was: my computer has only 768 MB of RAM and trying to debug or do whatever with cocoon in eclipse takes long time. Tired of waiting long time while eclipse do whatever and almost stall, I decided to write this new task or I will end crazy.
Results: 1-A noticeable improvement in eclipse. :-DD 2-Less code to see. 3-Faster compiler time.
Internals:
The task is new. It does not change other tasks.
Future improvements:
1-Use build.properties as well to avoid inclusion of deprecated stuff or samples if not needed.
Can I commit this task? WDYT?
Go for it, you don't have to ask!
I would also be happy if you can also review whiteboard/block-builder because I want to make it the default for Cocoon 2.2. Saying this, I'm writing a proposal about the future of Cocoon where I will elaborate more on this (and other things).
