Hi Kirill, There was some previous discussion about converting the ant scripts to maven, but the development community of roller by majority decide not to do so as we (I am not a roller developer but a roller-tools developer) didn't see any benefit on doing so.
You can read more about this in the following thread: http://www.nabble.com/Maven2-build-td15406167s12275.html . If you are interesting on improving the build process (or in creating a new project for gsoc) my suggestion would be to create a guide or a ant script that would make the current svn source code work in eclipse. A lot of people (including myself) have been asking for an easy way of supporting eclipse with the current directory structure. The community of developers/hackers that use eclipse as an IDE find it difficult and painfull to stay up to date with the svn HEAD code because the directory structure is just not setup in a way that eclipse can easily understand it. Creating a ant script that a developer can run to create an eclipse friendly directory would be a very useful tool to stay up to date with the svn head directory structure. But you probably need to get Dave's agreement before you start working on such a thing. ----- Original Message ---- From: Kirill Kosinov <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2008 3:30:44 AM Subject: Another idea Good day. Unfortunately i didn't receive any reply to my previous post, so i may conclude that previous idea is uninteresting. So i decided to propose another one. When i downloaded sources of roller i saw that building and configuring of project is not very comfortable. I think that storing jar's in svn looks not good. Today many apache projects use maven for building, and i wonder why roller doesn't? I used appfuse and the way in which maven is used there looks great. So i propose to improve roller build scripts. If this idea is not enough for gsoc, it may be only my issue to roller's community. __________________________________________________________________ Be smarter than spam.
