I'm starting to get familliar with JDOM and I'm wondering if it's a library used mostly only by j-cook. If I modify it, it won't affect other extensions? Could it be a good idea to rename it to something unique for my components needs?
I tried to find some informations about it online but it seem to be only used here, is it something the j-cook developper create?
I just want to have a clearer idea about what's JDOM.
Thanks

JDom is only used by Cook Self Service users.

It is open source here : github.com/Cook-Self-Service/JDom

All contributions are welcome.
Maybe one day in natives files of Joomla CMS.. I hope so...
For the moment, it is still under developpement and test, but it works like a charm.

Thanks for the clarifications!
So I guess I should simply adapt it to my templating needs and don't bother proting it to my own plugin. It will be a good thing to refine my Git forking and branching knowledge.
At first I didn't like the JDOM and was creating my own link manually but once you figure how it work it seem to be quite powerful. Good work there

Another JDOM related questions. Is it possible to not include JDOM in components so it won't overides the changes. I'm using 2 components now and I want them to share the same JDOM. For now I simply backup latest JDOM and overide after installation.
It might be a good idea to add a "Don't include" options in JDOM components parameters

if you use the JDOM library as joomla system plugin, you can use ONE library per joomla installation, so you can share the same library between more components.
To do that, in the jcook builder interface, there is an option in the project configuration to use JDOM as plugin instead to delivery it within the component folder.

Well it's the options I use but each time I install a component creation it override the JDOM and my changes are gone, right? Maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure it's what happened. Now I always backup JDOM files when installing new component then paste backed up files over.

there is an option in the plugin configuration to avoid to upgrade JDOM, there are just 3 conditions:

1) upgrade always
2) ONLY if newer
3) NEVER

so if you want keep your modified version of JDOM, just set the plugin it to "NEVER", and you should be fine.

Ahh, thanks. Exactly what I was looking for. Didn't taught of looking in plugin setting

Hello,

I can not update, for where this installed the component has a firewall that prevents any updates.

You could create an installation only for JDOM?

It is easier to download the latest version and install offline.

Still use the FTP server 5.3.3 and 3.2.4 joomla

thanks

Of course, it is there :
github.com/Cook-Self-Service/JDom

Ready to install.
