From jhunter at servlets.com Tue Mar 16 00:54:31 2021 From: jhunter at servlets.com (Jason Hunter) Date: Tue, 16 Mar 2021 00:54:31 -0700 Subject: [jdom-interest] Making a new release Message-ID: It's sure been quiet around here. How many of you are out there? How many "address not found" responses am I about to get? :) One reason it's been quiet is Rolf Lear hasn't been communicating since Dec 2015. I'm not sure what happened to him. That's the downside of purely electronic open source collaboration. Is he OK? I hope so. I don't know how to find out. We're at a point where there's a need to make a new JDOM release to fix a small but important issue. I have the fix but I don't have time the next six weeks to figure out Rolf's system. I don't even have time to figure out the level of effort. Maybe it's easy, but I'm swamped with other tasks. Does any of the old crew want to help get a new release out the door? We'll have to figure out what Rolf was doing.

And I hope Rolf is; yes, it's difficult when you get no response to messages - it's like when someone who sends you a Christmas card every year stops sending them, you wonder what's happened. Memo to self, don't do that to other people! Picking up a piece of software or a piece of process that you haven't touched for years is always difficult; there's a high cost in "opening the box" compared with the cost of making the small change you want to make. Can't offer to help, I'm afraid. We aren't active JDOM users, we just make sure the integration keeps working.

Every year or two I push a patch release of XOM and I swear I spend more time figuring out changes to the hosting platforms than I do working on the software. For instance, last month Sonatype added an extra and invalid presubmit check to the artifacts I was publishing that XOM failed, so I had to file a ticket with them to be able to push again. I still haven't gotten around to updating the website. On Tue, Mar 16, 2021 at 7:58 AM Jason Hunter wrote: > > It's sure been quiet around here. How many of you are out there?

I see Jason's name in the license header, does that mean you also have commit privileges to the repo? Gary On Tue, Mar 16, 2021, 07:00 Elliotte Rusty Harold wrote: > I hear you.

Ouch, Ant! Seems like centuries ago! Anyway, once I skipped the GPG part, the Ant build completed while some unit tests actually failed: - TestSAXBuilder : No real issue (for some obscure reason, the file returned by FilecreateTempFile() differs from getCanonicalFile() on macOS) - TestStAXEventOutputter (5 errors), TestStAXOutputter2Writer (1), TestStAXReader2Writer (2), TestStAXStreamOutputter (6) all fail for either namespace issues or incorrect surrogate pair encoding in ISO-8859-1 Are these StAX issues new? Can anyone have a look and fix them? As I'm no longer that comfortable with Ant these days, I forked the project and attempted a quick migration to Maven. It's available here: https://github.com/lbihanic/jdom I created 4 Maven modules (jdom2-parent, jdom2 (core), jdom2-contrib, jdom2-samples) and made minimal code restructuring (to follow Maven standard directory structure) and redispatching (code from the previous "test" directory moved to either "core" and "contrib" test directories). Would this help? L. Le 16/03/2021 ? 08:54, Jason Hunter a ?crit : > It's sure been quiet around here. How many of you are out there?
