[midPoint] Execute groovy-files

[Radovan Semancik]

Hi Aleksey,

I'm afraid that the answer is "no". At least not now. There is an 
inherent problem with storing scripts in files when you are in 
environment with multiple midPoint nodes (which we fully support). The 
files would need to be manually synchronized to all the nodes, which is 
a major problem. We already have versioning and consistency model for 
midPoint (XML) objects, so there is no point in duplicating that 
mechanism also for text files.

But I see your point. The ease of development is important. Most of our 
deployments rely more on the midPoint features rather than on hundreds 
of lines of scripting code (you see, we are not OpenIDM). Therefore it 
was not a problem to maintain couple of lines of scripting code even 
without IDE. The other issue is also a synchronization of the files 
between filesystem (IDE) and the midPoint database.

Maybe it would help if you can describe how you do your midPoint 
development. This can give me some insight what needs to be improved. I 
would be very grateful for any suggestion what we should do to improve 
the developer's experience.
