Chris Male commented on LUCENE-2657:
------------------------------------
I'm wondering whether generating poms is just going to make them more
mysterious. While they are templates I can at least see them and they can be
validated by XML validators (including IDEs). Suddenly they are created
through a more complex process which we also have to maintain.
Assuming we have well-structured poms in the first place (huge assumption,
different issue), are developers unprepared to add the appropriate dependency
to the necessary pom? It doesn't seem like it'll happen very often, most of our
artifacts have very few dependencies and we resist increasing them. We can
document the process, make it very clear exactly what needs to be added and
where.
Also, I'm not sure all jars are going to have the appropriate manifest. If the
pom is generated (like Artifactory can do btw), I'm not sure it is packaged in
the jar?
I think Robert was onto the right idea with this original proposal: If we
consider our modules section and if we add a pom at the modules level and then
one for each module, running a build from the modules level will recursively
build each module. If there is something wrong with the poms themselves, maven
will fail. If a dependency is omitted meaning the code cannot be built, maven
will fail. If any of these 2 issues occur, then the build would fail and an
issue can be created for those more comfortable with maven to fix.

> Key: LUCENE-2657
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-2657
> Project: Lucene - Java
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build
> Reporter: Steven Rowe
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 3.1, 4.0
>
>
> Lucene and Solr modules' POM templates are manually maintained, and so are
> not always in sync with the dependencies used by the Ant build.
> It should be possible to auto-generate POM templates using build tools
> extending Ant's
> [BuildListener|http://api.dpml.net/ant/1.6.5/org/apache/tools/ant/BuildListener.html]
> interface, similarly to how the
> [ant2ide|http://gleamynode.net/articles/2234/] project generates eclipse
> project files.
