Filters listed are dependencies in pom.xml of Tikal are not completed to run the command

Issue #699 new
Kuro Kurosaka created an issue

Dependencies listed in okapi/tikal/pom.xml is not complete to run tikal from Eclips using some filters. For example, okapi-filter-markdown is not listed. This is fine for compilation but the command silently fails to run when a Markdown file (.md suffix) is specified to be extracted. Because of the issue #698, tikal mysteriously fails, without telling the fact the markdown filter classes were not loaded. All the filter packages whose filter classes are listed in okapi/core/src/main/resources/net/sf/okapi/common/filters/DefaultFilters.properties must be listed as run-time (or compile time?) dependencies so that the Tikal run from Eclipse debugger can find all the filters.

    How critical is it to be able to debug every filter from tikal under Eclipse?
    Unless I needed to debug tikal itself I’ve never needed this.

    Most of the time adding a test unit to the filter under debug is the best approach, tikal only gets in the way.

    On the other side I totally love using tikal to quickly experiment with filters from command line, not in Eclipse.


    I would hate making tikal depend on everything.

    Not sure if really a bug. But even if we agree it is, I don’t think it is a Priority “major”

    I would lower the priority of this bug since:

    • issue #698 was resolved and the logging is now visible in Eclipse
    • it is possible / easier / recommended to debug a filter using test units in the filter itself
