Scott Carey commented on AVRO-716:
----------------------------------
The Interop tests use RandomData in order to generate binary data for testing.
This is used in a few places and we already have two copies of the class. I
think it makes sense to move this from the test tree to o.a.a.util and have a
public API for it. We can then make a Tool and use avro-tools.jar to create
the interop data. Generating random data with the command line tool has many
other uses too.
Does that sound reasonable? If we do this, I think it makes sense to put the
Tool portion into a different ticket since it will need its own section in
CHANGES.txt.

> Issue Type: Task
> Components: build, java
> Reporter: Scott Carey
> Assignee: Scott Carey
> Priority: Blocker
> Fix For: 1.5.0
>
>
> We have legacy ant and ivy items in lang/java that need to be removed or
> reduced.
> 'ant clean' 'and compile' and 'ant test' can simply forward to maven, we
> might still want to have ant drive interop tests, and it is useful to have
> ant around as a tool.
> Additionally, buildbot currently fails and build.sh from the top level does
> not properly build Java.
