Message from Martin about a new Oxygen issue: ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Martin Holmes <mholmes@uvic.ca> Date: Wed, Nov 9, 2016 at 8:33 AM Subject: Oxygen plugin issue for Council to discuss To: Hugh Cayless <philomousos@gmail.com> Cc: Ron Van den Branden <ron.vandenbranden@kantl.be> Hi Hugh, There's a potential compatibility issue with the oxygen-tei framework, arising out of this: <https://github.com/TEIC/oxygen-tei/pull/9> Briefly: - Oxygen 18 changed some jar file versions, which broke the JTEI PDF generation task; - Ron fixed that, and added some additional future-proofing by using wildcards in the framework libraries configuration; - That works great for Oxygen 18 and 18.1, but fails on earlier versions of Oxygen which do not support wildcard-expansion in library paths; - So far there's no obvious solution. We have a couple of options: 1. Allow the JTEI PDF export to be broken for 18.x and above. 2. Allow it to be broken for 17.x and below. 3. Set a version limit on the framework which prevents its being installed on anything below 18.0. #3 would leave existing users of older Oxygens with a framework which could not be updated. #2 would affect only those users who have an older Oxygen but still want to do PDF export from JTEI. This is a small number of people, and seems to me the best option. Council should obviously decide on this. Ron, have I summarized correctly? Is there anything I've forgotten? Cheers, Martin
