Java RPC + Qooxdoo as Maven artifacts

Hi Qooxdoo team,

I'm making quite good progress in porting the Jspresso framework to
Qooxdoo. I'm almost 100% done with it but now comes the "hard" part
(couldn't guess it at first sight) : the Maven build integration ;-)

I'm almost done with configuring the Qooxdoo toolchain (manifest +
config) for eating a more standard maven project layout (e.g.
src/main/js, src/main/resources, target/, ...) and the next step
constists in allowing the developer to do as little manual setup as
possible on the build machine.
I dropped the idea of running the build with Jython since I could'nt get
it right (the "maximum recursion depth" problem). So I made my mind on
using a normal python interpreter so this one will have to be manually
installed if not already there (M$...). So far, so good.

The question is now to have the java RPC backend packaged and deployed
as a Maven artifact (a jar containing the compiled classes) for later
inclusion as a dependency in the Maven built WAR. I can manage to build
the JAR from the contrib source code and my proposition is to host the
resulting unmodified archive into the Jspresso Maven repository so that
it gets publicly accessible to the build. I think that the license
allows it but I would like to hear that you don't have any objection
against it.

Same goes for the Qooxdoo framework and toolchain. The idea I have is to
make a "light" zip archive of Qooxdoo that would only contain the
framework JS files + resources + python toolchain (I would mainly get
rid of the "application" and "component" directories). Then again, I
could host it into the Jspresso Maven repository so that it would get
automatically downloaded, unpacked and used during the build of a
Jspresso application. Of course this Qooxdoo artifact will be versioned
(0.8.2, 0.8-SNAPHOT, ...) so that a target application build can run
against a predefined Qooxdoo release depending on what has been declared
into the project POM file. Same question than before : any objection /
licensing issue against it ?

If you don't see any showstopper for both points, I think I can manage
to seamlessly integrate the Qooxdoo build into the Jspresso Maven build
with only python as a requirement. Of course, all licensing, IP, site
reference informations would be retained in both deployed artifacts.

Thanks in advance,
Vincent
