Scott Carey commented on AVRO-647:
----------------------------------
I think what is key here is whether the maintenance can be shared easily. Only
one person has to build this out (me for Maven, or likely Doug if Ant/Ivy).
Both take significantly less effort or expertise to modify and tweak once its
mostly set up.
Even if we go with Maven, Ant will be around to deal with things Maven doesn't
do well. They are complimentary tools.
At this point I've got Maven working as far as it will easily go without moving
source trees around and splitting up the build. That is a significantly larger
time investment. It doesn't look too difficult to keep going however.

> Project: Avro
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: java
> Reporter: Scott Carey
> Assignee: Scott Carey
>
> Our dependencies are starting to get a little complicated on the Java side.
> I propose we build two (possibly more) jars related to our major dependencies
> and functions.
> 1. avro.jar (or perhaps avro-core.jar)
> This contains all of the core avro functionality for _using_ avro as a
> library. This excludes the specific compiler, avro idl, and other build-time
> or development tools, as well as avro packages for third party integration
> such as hadoop. This jar should then have a minimal set of dependencies
> (jackson, jetty, SLF4J ?).
> 2. avro-dev.jar
> This would contain compilers, idl, development tools, etc. Most applications
> will not need this, but build systems and developers will.
> 3. avro-hadoop.jar
> This would contain the hadoop API and possibly pig/hive/whatever related to
> that. This makes it easier for pig/hive/hadoop to consume avro-core without
> circular dependencies.
