[MKSearch-dev] Week 23 round up

[Phil Shaw]

Just a quick catch-up on last week.

After opening the topic up for discussion, the Open RDF project 
leader agreed to modify the Sesame code base to work around a long-
standing GCJ bug with wildcard import statements. I have yet to 
incorporate the amended source, but this should permit full 
compilation of Sesame and MKSearch with GCJ.

Apache Tomcat is being packaged with Fedora Core 4 and should be 
released as a JPackage distribution around the same time.


Monday
~~~~~~
Created a set of test documents for the e-GMS encoding scheme and 
filled in some omissions from the standard element set. Also added 
the omitted YesNo encoding to the UKeGMS Schema class. All tested 
successfully with the new XhtmlTripleWriterPlugin. Did some research 
and testing on a suitable reification scheme for Dublin Core metadata 
in HTML links with rel attributes.

Tuesday
~~~~~~~
Refactored the JSpider plugin class hierarchy to better layer various 
common functionality and make it easier to subclass. Also re-
structured various test classes to the new plugin scheme and added 
new mock types to test the abstract implementations. Created a first 
draft XhtmlStoreWriterPlugin to write to a Sesame repository.
