--------------------------------------
Summary: Switch to Maven for building Apache Derby
Key: DERBY-6645
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-6645
Project: Derby
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: Build tools
Affects Versions: 10.10.2.0
Reporter: Moritz Hoffmann
For a new user building Derby is very hard. It does not follow established Java
project structures and requires a lot of prior knowledge. Also the
documentation is rather short. Especially running the tests is non-intuitive at
the beginning. Thus, I propose that Derby switches to building using Maven and
restructures its components in a cleaner way. Testing should be revised to
produce reproducible results. This would make development and testing much
easier and more user-friendly.
