[opencms-dev] Can module export be done from the command line?

No, currently this is not possible, even though it would be pretty easy to
implement in class org.opencms.main.CmsShellCommands, like so:

    public void exportModule(String moduleName, String fileName) throws
Exception {    
        
        CmsModule module = OpenCms.getModuleManager().getModule(moduleName);

        
        if (module == null) {
            throw new CmsException("Unknown module: " + moduleName);
        }
        
        String[] resources = new String[module.getResources().size()];
        System.arraycopy(module.getResources().toArray(), 0, resources, 0,
resources.length);
        
        // generate a module export handler
        CmsModuleImportExportHandler moduleExportHandler = new
CmsModuleImportExportHandler();
        moduleExportHandler.setFileName(fileName);
        moduleExportHandler.setAdditionalResources(resources);
        moduleExportHandler.setModuleName(module.getName().replace('\\',
'/'));
        moduleExportHandler.setDescription("Module export of " +
moduleExportHandler.getModuleName());
                
        // export the module
        OpenCms.getImportExportManager().exportData(m_cms,
moduleExportHandler, new CmsShellReport());    
    }    



Best Regards,
