ICEsoft.org Forums: ICEfaces, ICEmobile, ICEpdf

Hi guys.

During my work preparing for a lecture about JSF where I planned to demonstrate live how to get a Ajax enabled project up and running from zero code, to fully functional webapp "hello world" and eclipse, and IntelliJ projects in under 3 minutes, I created a maven2 archetype (http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-archetypes.html) that created a icefaces skeleton project.

What this rather long intro leads up to is :
Is this archetype something you would like me to donate to you guys for further development, and maintanance (I would like to keep the copyright, and also would appreciate the possibility to continue work on it), or should i donate it to the maven project (where I already are a commiter on the mojo project)

Question number 2. Do you plan making upload bundles for the maven central repository on ibibilio, or is this something you would prefer someone in the maven community (e.g. my self) to create it ?

I'd use a maven release if there was one available.

Hi,

Thank you, we're really happy to see this kind community involvement:) I think a Maven archetype is definitely something a lot of people, including ourselves, would like to have. However, we're under certain legal constraints in accepting external contributions. Any contributor is asked to sign a contribution agreement. This is a standard legal agreement used by many other Open Source companies, which protects both parties to the agreement.

** warning: legal speak follows

The way these standard agreement models work is that the contributor assigns copyright to the company, and the company provides back a liberal Open Source license for the work. This license allows the contributor to do pretty anything he or she wishes to do with the work. The contributor receives back an unrestricted, perpetual, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, and transferable copyright license to use, make, reproduce, prepare derivative works, use, publicly display and perform, transmit, sell, offer to sell, and distribute. Your Contributions and/or any derivatives thereof with the right to sublicense any and all of these rights through multiple tiers of sublicensees. It is ICEsoft’s intention to grant you a license that is as broad as possible and to provide you with rights as similar as possible to those held by the copyright owner.

Pretty much this means you can do whatever you want with it. Because we end up taking it in and redistributing it as part of our enterprise support license where we offer a wide spectrum of indemnification and reps and warrants we need ownership of the actual copyright.

While we certainly appreciate the offer of the contribution, we aren’t in a position to integrate it into the code base as a contribution unless the copyright is actually assigned to us. If you'd like to discuss further, or would like to look at the Contributor Agreement, please feel free to email us at product.support@icesoft.com

Philip

Hi everybody,

is there a maven2 archetype available now?

Thanks
Dirk

Hi everybody,
I know this thread is quiet old. But this is why I am even more curious if something has happened yet.
I am quiet used to maven and love its ease for managing dependencies. Now I decided to use IceFaces and was searching in the maven repo for your artefacts. None found :-/
Since using maven, I hardly dislike collecting all framework's dependencies knowing that ther is a much better way for handling this.

My question now would be, if you already have a maven repo yourself from where I can import your product from, or do I really still have to manage the dependencies you put into you large Download.

I know that I could simply use those libraries, but this would not be the way for the clean maven integration.

Looking forward to IceFaces being Maven enabled,
Alexander

Is there an archetype for icefaces web project or an icefaces componet project?

thanks!

There is an archetype for ICEfaces-2.0-Beta1 and compat libraries on the following snapshots repository:-
Code:

       <repository>
         <id>snapshots</id>
         <url>http://anonsvn.icefaces.org/repo/maven2/snapshots</url>
        </repository>

note that it is currently use the jsf versions that are also on our snapshots repo (jsf-2.0.3-FCS). next version of Beta2 will use whatever is available on java.net mvn2 repo for jsf.
