Greg Trasuk commented on RIVER-444:
-----------------------------------
It occurs to me that we might be better to create subversion repositories for
the new modules, since it might be easier to maintain file histories initially.
We can always move to git later.
> Extract classdep and other tools to a separate project and upgrade to JDK1.8

> Key: RIVER-444
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/RIVER-444
> Project: River
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build
> Affects Versions: River_2.2.2
> Reporter: Greg Trasuk
>
> Currently the build system in the 2.2 branch includes the classdep tool,
> which is built in an early phase of the build. It uses ASM3.2, which fails
> under JDK8.
> I proposed on the mailing list to remove the tools package to a separate
> project as follows:
> How about if I pull out the ‘tools’ package to a separate Maven project and
> integrate the changes that Peter did on qa_refactor? Then both the 2.2
> branch and qa_refactor can use the same tools.
> Process would be as follows:
> - Create a project in Apache git repo for ‘river-tools’
> - Create a Maven project (I’ll have a look at the modularization that Dennis
> did, I suspect this is already done) in that repository
> - Integrate Peter’s updates from qa-refactor (which update to use asm-5 in
> classdep)
> - Do a release on river-tools, so that tools.jar can go into Maven Central
> - Remove tools packages from 2.2. branch. Modify build to get tools.jar from
> Central rather than building it.
> - I can update qa_refactor at the same time.
> - Roll a release of the 2.2. branch.
> Which will leave a 2.2. release that builds under JDK1.8, qa_refactor that
> uses the same tool, and one less piece of build system confusion to put off
> new committers.
