For other projects I do, I build the jar file, source and binary dists using ant. I do this using an old JDK (1.3, although perhaps it should even be 1.2). I also use this same jar file to upload to ibiblio. I do NOT use maven - it uses the wrong JDK and I don't trust it enough.
How can it use the wrong JDK? Is Maven 1.4+ nowadays or something?
Last time I tried, it only worked on 1.4. For something as important as compiling code I want to be able to see and understand what it is doing, not cross my fingers and leave it up to a magic black box.
I've always used Maven on Commons projects (when mavenized) because I don't have to worry about whether the custom Ant script is sufficiently customised (or evne up to date as most are generated from Maven). Afaik, only Collections still used a custom Ant file.
If true, then thats unfortunate.
I'd prefer to separate this concept completely. Have a completely seperate way of storing and managing the javadoc, maybe even go as far as to check said javadoc into the repository (not necessarily inside Lang), or just copying the docs/apidocs over to an official place, rather than inside Lang.
Well, all I know is that for Joda-Time it works very neatly, and its just a variation on what we have for [collections].
