Stevo Slavic commented on MAHOUT-1043:
--------------------------------------
I can elaborate on m2e and maven-eclipse-plugin approach differences, but it
boils down to the fact that there are plenty of Maven and Eclipse users which
choose m2e for Eclipse and Maven integration, and change to support it in
existing Apache Mahout build scripts is trivial, it is provided in [my patch /
pull request|https://github.com/apache/mahout/pull/5], and it doesn't impact
other build options/combinations already present in any way.
Besides m2e compatibility adjustments pull request contains a very small amount
of tidying up of the "general" maven build scripts - even though aggregator
module configures plugin versions in pluginManagement section, plugin versions
are unnecessarily repeated/duplicated in child modules, which m2e nicely
reports as warnings; less unnecessary xml in build scripts makes them easier to
maintain. There is still some amount of unnecessary duplication, e.g.
configuration of maven-compiler-plugin source and target, those should probably
be moved to aggregator module's pluginManagement which child modules inherit
and don't need to repeat/duplicate.
To avoid using maven-antrun-plugin where it's not necessary, pull request
changeset includes rename of {{driver.classes.props}} configuration file to
{{driver.classes.default.props}}. Build script is updated accordingly and I've
checked that the produced binaries contain appropriately named and placed this
configuration file as they have before change.
Just trying to be good Apache Mahout community member, explore and hopefully
contribute more to the core of the project, all while not being forced to
legacy build tool options.
