Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-8887:
--------------------------------------------


* Unless I'm missing something, I don't see patch anything like the following 
to define defaults:

{code}
     * @parameter  expression="${source}" 
default-value="${basedir}/src/main/native"
     * @parameter  expression="${output}" 
default-value="${project.build.directory}/native"
{code}

* CleanMojo for windows, I don't see how, but if that is the case we should 
introduce it then if needed, not now just in case.

* generate/make, I'd merge them in a single Mojo as there are not usecases for 
using them apart, plus generate does not generate sources but make files.

* where test code lives? does compiled test stuff need to be segregated in 
target/test-native?

As an additional reason for removing clean & merging generate/make is that the 
amount of plugins config in the POMs are reduced from 3 to 1.

I have not run the patch yet, but I assume that ALL generated/created files are 
done under output and the source tree is not polluted with files created at 
build time.

> 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.
