There should be multiple samples in a single distribution.

This is proving very difficult, outlines of the problems with each of the 4 samples below.


No-Spring - This is a fork of the splash screen WAB. Being a WAB with the Manifest in /src/main/webapp/META-INF and using Bundlor with a properties replacement file outside the workspace doesn't work. I can't build the bundle to deploy it from Eclipse.

Form Tags - not attempted yet.

Greenpages - In order to deploy it in Virgo its dependencies must be at the same versions as the bundles in Virgo. These versions only exist in virgo.mirrored Ivy repo and Greenpages uses a Maven build. Maven can't resolve dependencies in Ivy. There is a work around to use very generous version ranges in the manifests and hope for the best but this is not a long term solution.

Configuration Properties - I'm stuck trying to get Spring MVC to pick up an annotation configured Controller. Someone with better Spring know how than me needs to look at it.

Update,

The no-spring sample is waiting for a tooling fix.
The formtags par sample still needs a little work but there are no blockers.

All the other formtags samples are now working (war, shared-libs and shared-services). The config properties sample and GreenPages are also working.

I suggest a RC1 release once these last samples are done and may be some extra documentation.

Greenpages update:

* removed Eclipse IDE related files from greengages project and added appropriate .gitignore
* migrated greenpages sample from com.springsource.bundlor.maven to maven-bundle-plugin (this should fix the build problems reported here[1])
* added missing subfolder greenpages.par during assembly of the samples.zip
