Create Build-A-Module process
-----------------------------
Key: LUCENE-3263
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-3263
Project: Lucene - Java
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: general/build
Reporter: Chris Male
Priority: Minor
Over the last few weeks, we've had a number of modules made. This process
seems only likely to continue with the potential for modules within modules as
well.
When creating a module, there is usually a consistent series of steps that need
to be done. For me these are:
- Create module directory
- Add LICENSE.txt and NOTICE.txt
- Create build.xml with dependencies on other modules (if there are any)
- Update parent build.xml (in case of modules)
- Add java and test directories to dev-tools/eclipse/dot.classpath
- Create module directory in dev-tools/idea
- Add .iml to dev-tools/idea/path/to/module
- Add module to dev-tools/idea/.idea/modules.xml
- Add module to dev-tools/idea/.idea/workspace.xml
- Create module directory in dev-tools/maven
- Add pom.xml.template to dev-tools/maven/path/to/module
I think we can create a script which provided some basic information, can
complete the majority of the above tasks. Of course if the module requires
some custom build targets or dependencies, then human involvement will be
required afterwards. But at the very least, it'll reduce the effort required
to make a new module and lower the risk of a step being missed (which I've done
a few times).
We can also use this as a chance to build in any verification of the
configurations, so people can feel more comfortable using them.
