Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-8887:
--------------------------------------------
* plugin root package should be org.apache.hadoop if in Hadoop.
* source directory should be settable via an 'source' property which defaults
to ${basedir}/src/main/native
* build directory should be settable via an 'outputDirectory' property which
defaults to ${project.build.directory}/native if not set.
* what is the diff between the output and target params in the CompileMojo? Do
we need both? see prev comment on naming.
* CleanMojo, why do we need this one? 'mvn clean' already takes care of it.
* what is the diff between cmake-generate and cmake-compile? Do we need 2
different Mojos? Do we gain something from it?
> Use a Maven plugin to build the native code using CMake

> Currently, we build the native code using ant-build invocations. Although
> this works, it has some limitations:
> * compiler warning messages are hidden, which can cause people to check in
> code with warnings unintentionally
> * there is no framework for running native unit tests; instead, we use ad-hoc
> constructs involving shell scripts
> * the antrun code is very platform specific
> * there is no way to run a specific native unit test
> * it's more or less impossible for scripts like test-patch.sh to separate a
> native test failing from the build itself failing (no files are created) or
> to enumerate which native tests failed.
> Using a native Maven plugin would overcome these limitations.
