• Debug Toolbar

    By Mark Leusink 1 decade ago

    Hi,

    Have a look at my XPage Debug Toolbar on this site.

    I think this would be a great addition to the Extension Library. It's a component that every XPage developer can use in every project.

    Any interest in including somehting like this (after a rewrite to OSGi ) in the Extension Library?

    • Why do you think it cannot stay as a separate project?

      Hi Mark,

      I think it's great value of OpenNTF community that everybody could contribute to it in form of projects and those projects could live their own lifes. In that sense this site is an OpenNTF projects repository from which you could collect your own stack of useful tools for everyday development activity. And visibility of one or another project here is mostly related to those people who feels there are some gaps and just do search through this site and find them. Do you feel you need some additional promotion for your Debug Toolbar project?

      That's my own personal opinion.

        Hello Andrejus,



        It can very well stay a seperate project and no, I'm not looking for extra promotion for my project. I think I can handle that myself.


        I talked to a couple of XPage developers about my toolbar and they (independentely from each other) made the remark that it would be a great addition to the ExtLib. Being able to easily log for debugging purposes and view the contents scoped variables is a core function every developer could use (or needs in lack of an alternative to debug SSJS). Since this is the "feature requests" section I thought I'd submit the idea.

          Mark, this is a great addition to the XPages set of tools. As you know, the extlib is also distributed as upgrade packs, officially supported by IBM. This adds to the project a lot of legal issues we didn't have at the beginning. As a result, integrating subsequent pieces of code (beyond bug fixes) coming from non ibm-ers starts to be a rally with lawyers... Particularly when it integrates other projects, like Tommy's inspector.

          So nothing is impossible, but that would really be time consuming while it can already be easily accessed and consumed.
