I should correct myself here. While all of the above is true, it likely still won't work for Lucene b/c the source trees aren't in line w/ Maven conventions. Thus, we will probably still need to output IntelliJ format. I do, however, think it isn't much of a leap to also output a POM file. -Grant --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@lucene.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@lucene.apache.org
