Hi Lewis, (CC'ing dev for visibility) The maven build is brought up to date with the recent changes on master. It is also upgraded to compile for JDK 8.
*What works:* - Compilation and packaging using maven - runtime/local build is replicated exactly as ant/ivy *What needs to be done:* - Fix tests - Configure runtime/deploy - Merge with master *What challenges I am facing:* - there are System.exit(...) calls within the code paths taken by tests. Maven test runner isn't happy about it. - Some unit tests expect plugins.folder to be available. Seems like we have to reorganize the tests. *How to test it:* # All changes are at: https://github.com/apache/nutch/tree/NUTCH-2292 # git fetch -all $ git checkout NUTCH-2292 $ mvn clean package -DskipTests # Skip the tests for now $ cd runtime/local # here you can run bin/crawl as before, export NUTCH_HOME=$PWD Let me know how it goes. I will need some more hands to fix all the tests. Cheers, Thamme -- *Thamme Gowda * Grad.
