Is there an easy way to do this with m1? I'm concerned about
having two dependency lists: one in the project.xml and one in the

dependencies into a template pom.xml?
If there was a tool we'd probably go from pom.xml to project.xml for
transitive deps reasons rather than the other way around.
But really, I wouldn't worry about having two deps lists. Here is
an idea for keeping things working ...
Why don't we:
- use an non-conflicting groupId like org.apache.geronimo-m2 or
something specifically for conversion
- set it up in our continuum install as another project
- and continuously build *both*
?
The reason for the new groupId is so that the m2 build doesn't
interfere at all with our regular m1 build. We just won't sycn
org.apache.geronimo-m2.
When our m2 build is read, we just drop the "-m2" suffix from the
groupId and delete the old maven.xml and project.xml files.
Thoughts?
Take my comments with a large dose of salt since, I'm not
volunteering to do the work.... I would like to see a module
completely converted to m2 (one at a time) and stay converted.
I think the continuum aspect would be the thing to ensure something
stays converted. We could even do one at a time too, just that most
people (and the release process) would continue to rely on m1 till m2
conversion is completely done.
I get the impression that people are proposing that we create
parallel builds for modules one at a time, and I just don't see that
working.
Both the OpenEJB and ActiveMQ builds were done as parallel builds.
I've got ActiveMQ up in continuum building as an M2 projects, so we
know it stays good. Obviously, the OpenEJB build was done way before we
had continuum and it got crufty.
ActiveMQ still does releases from m1 as they still don't have all their
tests converted over. Other than that their m2 build works.
But I'm in the same boat as you, I don't have the bandwidth to work on
it aside from helping people get it running in continuum.
I feel the same way as Dain but I am willing to back it up w/ warm
bodies to help. Continuum will not help, imho. It will only remind us
how badly the two versions are drifting.
