Michael Semb Wever commented on CASSANDRA-16391:
------------------------------------------------
bq. What about converting build scripts to Maven?
That is outside the scope of this ticket, and a much bigger undertaking. I do
not believe there is enough interest in maven as the replacement. There was a
patch for moving to Gradle
[here|https://github.com/snazy/cassandra/tree/tryout-gradle], but that hasn't
gained much momentum (though it demonstrates the size of the effort required
for such an endeavour).
Hence, this ticket has been spec'd to tackle just this one specific (serious)
problem we currently face.
> Migrate use of maven-ant-tasks to resolver-ant-tasks
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-16391
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16391
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Build, Dependencies
> Reporter: Michael Semb Wever
> Priority: High
> Labels: gsoc2021, lhf, mentor
>
> Cassandra resolves dependencies and generates maven pom files through the use
> of [maven-ant-tasks|http://maven.apache.org/ant-tasks/]. This is no longer a
> supported project.
> The recommended upgrade is to
> [resolver-ant-tasks|http://maven.apache.org/resolver-ant-tasks/]. It follows
> similar APIs so shouldn't be too impactful a change.
> The existing maven-ant-tasks has caused [some headaches
> already|https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-16359] with internal
> super poms referencing insecure http:// central maven repository URLs that
> are no longer supported.
> We should also take the opportunity to
> - define the "test" scope (classpath) for those dependencies only used for
> tests (currently we are packaging test dependencies into the release binary
> artefact),
> - remove the jar files stored in the git repo under the "lib/" folder.
> These two above points have to happen in tandem, as the jar files under
> {{lib/}} are those that get bundled into the {{build/dist/lib/}} and hence
> the binary artefact. That is, all jar files under {{lib/}} are the project's
> "compile" scope, and all other dependencies defined in build.xml are either
> "provided" or "test" scope. These different scopes for dependencies are
> currently configured in different maven-ant-tasks poms. See
> https://github.com/apache/cassandra/commit/d43b9ce5092f8879a1a66afebab74d86e9e127fb#r45659668
