JASS Package Manager (/w JNGP integration)

[TriggerHappy]

Pre-release.

This is an application which can download and cache vJASS libraries. It reads all the vJASS libraries in your map, checks the requirements, and inserts the ones you don't already have declared. This allows you to use code without having to manually search for it online.

For example, if you want to use TimerUtils, you can just add it as a requirement to a library, and the tool will make sure the map has it.

library Example requires TimerUtils
endlibrary

Even if you are requiring a library which also has (multiple) dependencies, the package manager will include those too.

For example: library Example requires TextSplat2, TextSplat2 requires libraries which also require libraries. They are all included by simply requiring TextSplat2.

It works by checking an online repository for the library. You can create accounts and upload your own code to the repository.

You can view the libraries currently uploaded to the repository here: http://185.92.220.118/jassrepo/api/list.php

Command Line Usage

Works off of local package.json file.

1. jpm adduser - Creates a new account (asks email/password ect..)
2. jpm login - Stores login session
3. jpm init - Generate new package.json
4. jpm publish - Publish library
5. jpm update - Update library
6. jpm delete <name> - Delete library
7. jpm parsemap <mapfile> - Add vjass library dependencies to map
8. jpm version list <library> - Lists all available versions a library has
9. jpm version default <library> <version> - Sets the preferred library version to use

Lets say you want to use the Table library by Vexorian instead of Bribe's. You would simply run:

jpm version list Table
jpm version default Table 3.0

and from then are you are using Vexorian's Table. If you want to switch back:

jpm version default Table 4.1.0

Much more information will be included when I actually release this and the source code.

I have two complaints.

1) You are not using a public site like github, which is guaranteed to always work.
2) There are now like 50 versions of JNGP floating around, and you people keep creating new ones for every feature.

(Tsk...) I like that you have your own server, you can do whatever you want.

I'd think TH will work with @MindWorX once this matures. (That or I notify Mindy.)

The problem stems from JNGP not being very configurable in the first place, so anytime something new is made, it needs its own pack. The replacement I'm working on is much more flexible and will come with a plugin system that is much easier to work with.

1. Repositories will be configurable (able to dynamically add sources).
2. Temporary until integration with official JNGP. I don't expect anyone to use my pack as a daily thing, it's just for people to quickly be able to use my stuff when I want. You can also add this to an existing JNGP with like... 2 lines.

I wrote something similar to yours a while back.

I like that you have your own server, you can do whatever you want.

It's only $5 a month, and you can find cheaper ones.

The server also runs my many other War3 projects.

+rep although I dont use external libraries and yes github would be nice since you can see the changes of the packages online etc. and everyone uses it.

Actually, a JNGP plugin for importing and updating hive resources automatically would be cool, too.
