[ANNOUNCEMENT] CSS4J 3.0.0

[admin]

Css4j 3.0.0 was just released. Three modules (tokenproducer, carte-util and xml-dtd) were split out of the core css4j module to make easier to use the components in different contexts.

If you used css4j together with DTD classes, in Maven you now need to specify the xml-dtd module separately, like:

 <dependency>
   <groupId>io.sf.carte</groupId>
   <artifactId>xml-dtd</artifactId>
   <version>${css4j.version}</version>
   <type>jar</type>
   <scope>compile</scope>
   <optional>false</optional>
 </dependency>
 <dependency>
   <groupId>io.sf.carte</groupId>
   <artifactId>css4j</artifactId>
   <version>${css4j.version}</version>
   <type>jar</type>
   <scope>compile</scope>
   <optional>false</optional>
 </dependency>

For example, the XWiki project needs to put the following jar files in the classpath: tokenproducer, carte-util, xml-dtd, css4j, css4j-dom4j. The Maven config would be:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.sf.carte</groupId>
      <artifactId>xml-dtd</artifactId>
      <version>3.0.0</version>
    </dependency>
    <dependency>
      <groupId>io.sf.carte</groupId>
      <artifactId>css4j-dom4j</artifactId>
      <version>3.0.0</version>
    </dependency>

Declaring css4j-dom4j as a dependency should automatically put the core css4j module (and also carte-util and tokenproducer) in the classpath or modulepath.

The relevant download links can be found at:

Congrats for the 3.0.0 release and than you for CSS4J and for making our lives easy:

than you for CSS4J and for making our lives easy:

You're welcome 🙂

A very small effort for me, worth the effort in potentially saving time for other people that otherwise need to look at the POM files, figure out which modules they need, etc.

Hi Carlos,

I've just tried using the https://css4j.github.io/maven/ repo (by adding it to our nexus repo at http://nexus.xwiki.org/nexus/#view-repositories;css4j~browsestorage) but it seems it cannot find the following deps:

<dependency>
<groupId>io.sf.carte</groupId>
<artifactId>xml-dtd</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.sf.carte</groupId>
<artifactId>css4j-dom4j</artifactId>
<version>3.0.0</version>
</dependency>

Do you know if it's there?

Thanks

-Vincent

[Vincent Massol]

So it seems to be there according to https://css4j.github.io/maven/io/sf/carte/css4j/maven-metadata.xml

However the repo doesn't seem to be working as a proper maven remote repo.

I've used https://css4j.github.io/maven/

Thanks

[Vincent Massol]

ah I made a mistake.... retesting....

[admin]

Do you know if it's there?

Yes it is there. From https://css4j.github.io/maven/io/sf/carte/css4j/maven-metadata.xml :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<metadata>

  <groupId>io.sf.carte</groupId>
  <artifactId>css4j</artifactId>

  <versioning>
    <release>3.0.0</release>
    <versions>
      <version>2.1.0</version>
      <version>1.0.8</version>
      <version>2.0.6</version>
      <version>2.1.1</version>
      <version>3.0.0</version>
    </versions>
    <lastUpdated>20200919171127</lastUpdated>
  </versioning>
</metadata>

Same for xml-dtd:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<metadata>

  <groupId>io.sf.carte</groupId>
  <artifactId>xml-dtd</artifactId>

  <versioning>
    <release>3.0.0</release>
    <versions>
      <version>3.0.0</version>
    </versions>
    <lastUpdated>20200919171117</lastUpdated>
  </versioning>
</metadata>

But the server does not support directory indexes, and this may cause a problem?

[Vincent Massol]

hmm no luck, still not working (I've now added it to the public repo group which I had forgotten): http://nexus.xwiki.org/nexus/#view-repositories;public~configuration

Does it work for you?

Thanks

And especially the part:

So yes maybe the fact that it doesn't support dir index is an issue.

Thanks

Does it work for you?

I haven't tested it myself.

[Vincent Massol]

Actually the error seems to be:

2020-10-04 16:48:27 INFO  [pool-1-thread-1] - org.sonatype.nexus.index.DefaultIndexerManager - Cannot fetch remote index for repository "CSS4J" [id=css4j] as it does not publish indexes.

I'm looking at automatic index generation.

[admin]

Done: directory listings added. It was harder than expected, as the tree program that people often recommend:

http://mama.indstate.edu/users/ice/tree/

adds index.html to the listing and puts a really spammy attribution section with the names of the authors. Finally found this:

https://gist.github.com/glowinthedark/625eb4caeca12c5aa52778a3b4b0adb4

which is what I wanted.

[Vincent Massol]

Thanks so much Carlos.

However I've just retested it and it seems it's still not working:

[Vincent Massol]

Good news! I kept trying, even though there was still the index error and suddenly it started working! :)

So it seems all is good now, which is great!

Thanks a lot Carlos.
