Re: Axis Build System - Possible conversion to Maven

[Dan Diephouse]

I am all for both these things: new tests should be added in a less painful 
manner (yet to be decided) and we should still be able to run all transparently. 
  Steve mentioned earlier that he has some comments forthcoming about testing, 
and maybe after axis looks at what it wants to do to ease testing/speed up 
testing - it can be addressed.

Steve,

I have ONE requirement - we should be able to run all tests using: 
"ant clean all-tests"

Thanks,

+1.  If its just a matter of providing an XML file for Maven to use in the
tree, no problem.

I am still -1 on changing the build system away from ant.

Dan, we really do want your help with Axis, just on the laundry list of
code problems we need to address.  I just think Axis has already gone
through a (somewhat) painful "build improvement" project and I have no taste
for another one.
I have a cunning plan :)

Actually I think we could set things up so new tests are added in a less
painful manner, so can slowly migrate from the current situation to one that
satisifes everyone's needs. Running side-by-side gives you good testing of
the tests, which is something the refactoring books leave out.
