Another thing i didn't think of last night is that this will impact the
current ant build of 2.2 as well. How easy is it to change this, just a
matter of adjusting paths ?
More importantly : how long should we still care about the Ant build in
2.2.x ?
Until you or someone else cast a vote about ditching Ant and go for Maven
At what point would people be happy to ditch it and go maven all
the way?
Essentially when the Maven build is "good enough". I haven't tried it or
followed the development for a while, so maybe it allready is. IMO, the
maven build doesn't need to replace every single Ant task we have, some
of them can be reimplemented in Maven when someone have a strong enough
itch.
It'll become increasingly more difficult to keep both builds
happy, and trying to do so might make a mess of both.
I think we should gather a list of _minimal_ requirements that the maven
build should support before we stop caring or even remove the ant build
in 2.2. I'll start a new thread for this.
You where not fast enough ;)
* M2 stable enough (2.0 is out so this should be fullfilled)
* Reasonably fast (don't need to be as fast as Ant, but not several
times slower)
* Easy configuration of what blocks to compile (like blocks.properties
and maybe even dependency aware)
* M2 bundled with Cocoon (it should still be enough to just download and
type ./build.sh)
Further rquirements?
