[hibernate-dev] Hibernate Commons project

Hi, So, as discussed at the F2F, I set up an hibernate-commons project. Currently, it's here https://github.com/gsmet/hibernate-commons, waiting for everyone to agree on the name, the license, the purpose and so on. We would like to make quick progress on it as it's blocking for the migration of Search and OGM to the new AsciiDoctor output (we are still using Docbook as the final output for these projects). It would be nice if we could move them to this output for Search 5.7 and OGM 5.1 which are planned for the coming weeks. Basically the idea behind this repo is to centralize things useful to all (or several) Hibernate projects: - an AsciiDoctor theme - testing utilities we would like to share for all the Hibernate projects - (still to be decided as not that obvious) utilities we would like to share for the NoORM projects Things that should be discussed: == The groupId I used hibernate-commons as it seemed like an obvious groupId. The fact is that we already have hibernate-commons-annotations here. Thoughts? == The license Most of our projects are LGPL licensed except for HV which is Apache 2 licensed. Which license should we choose? == The AsciiDoctor theme So the theme I put in is slightly different from the one from ORM: - the top banner is white instead of black. The black banner was a bit too aggressive to my taste; - I was very light on customizing the HTML output as I would really like us to not spend time on maintaining it. So it's basically the default output whereas ORM has customized the color of the titles of the links and several other things. I think the default output is really nice and we can keep it as is; - I customized the PDF output a bit more as there were problems with the default output. I think it's pretty good now. Here is the current output for Search: - HTML: http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/beta/html_single/ - PDF: http://docs.jboss.org/hibernate/beta/pdf/hibernate_search_reference.pdf -> note that if you want to use a specific theme for specific purposes, it would still be possible. It's a base you can configure with your own CSS and such. Thoughts? -- Guillaume
