Hello everyone, since I am picking up the work on Ext-Scripting again
here is an outline of my future plans.
a) I need to do a serious code rewrite. The system was grown out of a
research idea and some code frankly spoken has become unmaintainable. I
have started with this work and will have it probably finished in a few
months depending on the time I can dedicate to it. I have started
already and am making good progress with one major part already cleaned
up and simplified locally here.
With this I want to do following stuff
a) Drop Java 5 support, Java 6 will be the new baseline due to the
compiler interface it provides. Maybe depending on the Mac support I
will drop in Java7 as baseline soon. Given that there is not to much of
a community yet I dont see it as a huge problem to go for a relatively
new baseline.
So java6 now java 7 soon.
b) I want to drop JSF 1.x support for that there still is the old
version. The code is simply a burden, I want to reduce code wherever
possible and cutting legacy support is part of it.
b) After the code rewrite I want to start with the CDI integration
c) After that Spring
Probably b) will be doable for this year depending on my sidework c)
definitely not this year anymore.
Werner
