Description Jesse Glick 2004-05-03 19:48:15 UTC

As needed:

- passing parameters to the stylesheet
(automatically affect CRC32 hash)

- passing an "extra hash" to represent any
included or imported or loaded resources

- include an explicit ordered version number to
prevent stylesheet "seesawing"

- ability to generate content w/o XSLT

Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2004-06-15 13:02:57 UTC

Not apparently needed for D. Should be considered for E.

Comment 2 Jesse Glick 2005-09-12 23:02:44 UTC

The third in particular is desirable.

Comment 5 Milan Kuchtiak 2006-02-28 09:26:24 UTC

We also need to add an extra parameter to transformer object that represents an
additional xml source.

e.g.
transformer.setParameter("jax_ws","file:/home/user/WebProject5/nbproject/jax-ws.xml");

Than we also need to provide the CRC calculation for this file.

Currently we use the custom copy of GeneratedFilesHelper class :
http://websvc.netbeans.org/source/browse/websvc/websvcapi/src/org/netbeans/modules/websvc/jaxws/spi/Attic/GeneratedFilesHelper.java?rev=1.1.2.1&only_with_tag=release55&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

Comment 6 Milan Kuchtiak 2006-08-08 14:42:33 UTC

Generally, it is useful to generate build-impl not just from one xml source
(project.xml). Multiple project types can create multiple configuration files
for any reason.

There is another advantage: project.xml configuration data don't need to be
updated from release to release.

I am working on #3 as that seems to be the major issue in practice. If other issues are still needed, please file them
separately.

Integrated into 'main-golden', will be available in build *200901070201* on http://bits.netbeans.org/dev/nightly/ (upload may still be in progress)
Changeset: http://hg.netbeans.org/main/rev/9f31b509242e
User: Jesse Glick <jglick@netbeans.org>
Log: #42735: prevent "seesaw" effect on metadata from opening a project alternately in two different IDE versions.
As of now, the IDE will not refresh build scripts created with newer versions of stylesheets.
After a refresh, genfiles.properties will use @1.2.3.4 in *.stylesheet.crc32 to record the module spec version.
(6.5 and earlier IDEs will still overwrite scripts with their old stylesheets.)
