Eric Evans commented on CASSANDRA-1159:
---------------------------------------
Ick.
I've always understood this to be away of supporting code that might one day
become a proper part of the project, but only after having (a) proven useful,
and (b) becoming obvious there are people willing to maintain it. If there are
consistent problems, perhaps we've identified projects that should either be
removed (for lack of interest), or moved into the main tree.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not opposed to efforts that would make it easier to
identify problems in contrib/, that's laudable, but I think they should be
opt-in. If it is to be linked to the top-level build and added to Hudson, there
is effectively no distinction anymore.
> For contrib modules that use Java, have a consistent build mechanism

> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement

>
> Contrib modules have a habit of periodically not working for some reason. To
> some extent that's expected - they are optional contrib modules. However, I
> think it's reasonable to at least have some way to perform a periodic sanity
> check on them if we can.
> This improvement would make sure there is a consistent build mechanism -
> build.xml - for each of the contrib modules that use Java. That way, there
> could be a hudson build perhaps nightly or weekly, that could inform the devs
> if the contrib modules are not even compiling. It's not like it would be a
> huge priority to fix immediately, but they would at least be aware that
> changes in the code/config have broken a contrib module.
