Pastebin

From Arnout Engelen

I originally wrote a simple pastebin for the wxWidgets IRC channel.

Now I proposed to use the pastebin at papernapkin.org instead, since duplication of effort is bad.

[edit] building and testing

[edit] building

automatically fetching dependencies 'ant resolve', then build with 'ant build'.

Issues:

  • why is javax.servlet (and javax.transactions) commented out as a dependency in ivy.xml? berlios
  • why is src in build.xml set to src/java instead of src/main/java? berlios
  • it requires wicket-1.2-beta1 and wicket-extensions-1.2-beta1 jars instead of those downloaded by ivy berlios

[edit] testing

quickstart (remember to first copy over my modified JHighlight jar) 

export CLASSPATH=.:build/:test/:src/main/resources/:`find lib | perl -pe "s/\\n/:/g"`
javac test/quickstart/StartPastebin.java
java quickstart/StartPastebin

[edit] c++ highlighting

For this, I added C++ highlighting support to JHighlight.

[edit] autolinking

I'm also adding autolinking certain static keywords to reference manual URL's. I have working code, by adding support to JHighlight and talking to that. Not committing yet, awaiting Geert's reply on the JHighlight interface first.

TODO:

  • open links in new window

[edit] getting the mapping

For wxWidgets, the mapping could be extracted from the html/latex/xml docs, I used an adaption of the scripts by Tierra written for the wiki highlighting.

[edit] storing the mapping

We don't really want to rely on a database being present.

Storing the mappings in properties files seems to be the most convenient approach for now. There'd be one with a kind/filename-mapping, and for each kind a name/linkurl-mapping.

[edit] doing the actual linking

it's not clear whether the best place to implement that is in JHighlight or in the pastebin itself. I tend to favour the former, check the JHighlight page for status.
