Change aemdc-config.properties to what is configurable

[schaefa]

While creating a Dialog to let the user edit the aemdc-config.properties I found the structure of that file cumbersome as it does not just contain the changeable values but other tool related items.

I suggest that we change it to a file that only contains configurable items. This way I don't have to search and replace strings in that file but can just write properties-name=properties-value to the file.

These are the values I found so far:

• aemdc-files location
• UI Folder (content package)
• Apps Folder
• Conf Folder
• Designs Folder
• Java Folder (service bundle)
• Java Package
• Java Path
• OSGi Configuration

Do you mean the file from "resources" folder
/aemdc/src/main/resources/types/config/aemdc/files/aemdc-config.properties
or the generated resulted file ../aemdc-config.properties in your AEM maven parent project after execution of aemdc config ?

One is the template for the other so it the same for me. What I mean is that I would like to have a properties file that just contains the following entries: SOURCE_FOLDER= TARGET_UI_FOLDER= TARGET_PROJECT_APPS_FOLDER= TARGET_PROJECT_CONF_FOLDER= TARGET_PROJECT_DESIGN_FOLDER= TARGET_JAVA_FOLDER= TARGET_JAVA_PACKAGE= TARGET_JAVA_PACKAGE_FOLDER= TARGET_JAVA_MODEL_SUBPACKAGE= TARGET_OSGI_SUBFOLDER= No dependencies, no cross-references. Personally I think that TARGET_JAVA_PACKAGE_FOLDER should be removed as I never encountered a project where the package name is not equal the package folder structure. This way the users can edit themselves more easily and there is a slimmer chance of making mistakes. It also helps me with the dialog to check and write out the properties and I don’t have to search for strings and replace them. You can add internal properties later if you like the SOURCE_TYPES_FOLDER etc but they then stay internally.
